2011 Fish on custom wood thread

The O.d. Mike Pencil.

Mike gave me this pencil during the summer.
First day with it , third cast had my first fish of the morning on it. Had several other smaller fish on it that morning and lost one bigger fish when one of the vmc's straightened.

There are some more pictures out there of fish I caught on it , but I have no idea where they are.

Finished up the season on a high note with this one. Some kind soul took pity on me and brought me along for the ride last week. Absolutely perfect day, great company, and a bunch of nice fish.

This one took a 1.75 oz pollack pencil I made back in the spirng and had pretty much given up on before the trip.

Fish was incredibly fat and fought like hell with the light gear we were using. It pulled the chatillion down below the 30# mark before we revived her, then turned her loose.
