I had hoped to get started re-working the finish grade on the pond dam this weekend, but 2" of rain Friday night into Saturday shut that down.

So I spent a few minutes tossing pair of tandem-rigged marabou jigs thinking I might pull a couple BG out for the skillet, but the fish had other ideas.
Instead of a BG I hooked a HSB that was all I wanted on 6lb test mono line. Was working on bringing it in when I felt another big thump at the
end of my string, so now I've got two of the crazy things going at once. The fish on the trailing jig broke off before I got them close to the dock.
The one that I landed was decent and still frisky enough to let a good bit of my blood out while I was removing the hook from its jaw. Think I'll
switch to 20lb test braid before I try that again. lol

I didn't have the scale with me, so don't have a weight on it, but it was plenty solid. Pushing 17" - not bad for a 2yo fish, eh?
