Quadapus works great!!! At least...
I trimmed about a quarter inch off the original leg length and took my new precision Fiskars Titanium Scissors (you guy's like Titanium and all that, right?) and tuned it in a bit. The legs flared out as soon as it hit the water.
Got a belly bump here!
Guy on the balcony wanted a close up picture for some reason and was wondering if it was a Bass. He said it was pretty huge!
Grandma and Grandpa, who came out after the pic (lower right apt), also thought it was a big fish.
A kid came out with a stick (a real stick) with some line attached to it trying to hook up. Bare hook tho, and the stick was actually about a 2" diameter x 3' long branch.
I went back to my apt. made him up a package with a bunch of stuff and that 4'8" Ugly Stick Combo. Had my business card in the package for contact info with a note on the back, but he was gone.
A spinning rig may have been a bit much tho.
I'll hit Wally World tomorrow and pick up a Starter kit for the kid.
It just burned me that all this kid had was a stick!
Guess the pond didn't winter kill after all.
BTW: This is an expensive fish at the moment
