After another very relaxing work week (I can finish out my 100 hours at home tomorrow), I got home tonight after sundown, but about 20 minutes before complete darkness.
Life is really great when I can stumble in, and my wonderful wife of nearly 35 years, suggests I go down to the pond and try another of the Traveling Lures before it gets really dark, and before I have to send them to the next lucky person.
So I did . . .
I tied the Traveling Rooster Tail on my ultralight rod:
On the very first cast, this starved little 14-inch bass grabbed the lure just as I was pulling it out of the water:
Next cast, and this tiny little 7-inch bluegill grabbed the lure:
I was worried that things were going down hill quickly when I caught this 7-inch monster:
Thankfully, this critter helped me regain my confidence a few casts later:
He was only 10-inches, but he let me know who was boss.
It was almost totally black outside, and I made one last cast. This little fella let me know that Bluegill must be treated as Royalty at Catmandoo Pond:
Good Fishn' Ken
FINE PRINT: Everybody went home happy this evening. No fish or humans were harmed in the preparation of this documentary.
