Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Mike (Mudkart) and myself decided since it was such great weather out that we would venture out and get our lines wet and guide's frozen. We got to the spot knowing we would have to trek a good half mile or so in the snow to get to our spot. What I didn't realize was that knee deep snow is hard to walk in.....esp when you're 5'4" 120 lbs soaking wet....I was tired...out of breath gasping for air, and the vast amounts of cold air I was sucking in so greedily starting to make me couch up what felt like a lung! That's when I realized were were only halfway there, and just what have I gotten myself into? We eventually made it to the hole and was soon rewarded with that slight tick we all know so well, set the hook, and fish on! Mike managed 16 to shore and lost a few, myself I landed somewhere around 12 bass, a big carp, and snagged a snakehead swimming a blade. She fought with all here might and I was getting nowhere fast trying to horse her in, which maybe I shouldnt have considering I use 10lb yozuri but lesson learned I had her break off but not before grabbing a momento. She bolted towards me and the perch I was roosted on to get leverage and just laid there as if saying hey pest that was uncalled for and I took a snapshot to remember her by.
