Hey Everyone!
It's been a while!
Life for me has a way of eating up all my precious free time, but thankfully it is all positive.
I just wanted to pop in and say hi and share my outing from last month before I took my hiatus to observe fasting.
I was out there for 3+ hours with just one bump until I finally nestled into a good spot and started fan casting a Texas rigged senko. On the third cast there was a blow-up that missed, so I casted again in the same area and this time something grabbed hold of the lure. I paused for a second and felt the line getting tight, I then started to retrieve and attempted to set the hook. The lure popped right out and I saw that the worm was pulled off, telling me that it was a short bite. I readjusted the lure and casted multiple times to the same area with no luck. Then I fanned to the right and to the left with no luck as well. I decided to switch to a top water frog and went over the same area, and still no luck. I decided to cast a little left, and sure enough the lure disappeared in a split second. I again paused, this time for two seconds, and saw my line moving. Feeling confident, I set the hook and felt a heavy weight that I had to drag through the grass.
At first I thought it was a LMB, but, to my surprise, when I was able to finally get a glimpse, I saw the distinct snake pattern. Interestingly, the snakehead wasn't fighting heavily and I thought I had it pretty easy.... until it touched my net, then all H@#& broke loose! It went nuts... long story short and some kayak acrobatics later. I killed the beast and took a sigh of relief. Here she is:
And of course nothing is complete without the Masgouf (this time on the grill)
