I was targeting Pike in Kellers Bay. I had on a #4 mepps with a grub twisting off the hook. The water was 66.4 degrees and I was in 10-12 feet of water.
5 minutes into the escapade my rod bends over. I knew it was a good fish right off the bat. I couldn't believe it when I first saw it?! After a couple failed attempts netting this thing solo with a heavy rubber net, I was able to get it into the boat. One 6 inch lampray on its back, other than that...PERFECT!
After I stopped shaking enough to send some quick texts, I get the call from the wife, "Where are you?"
My response..."I am on my way, meet me at the dock, I need you to take some pictures. And I am sorry but I have to go to Burlington"
My best Brown yet. 9.28 lbs.
Spend enough time on the water and special things will happen. Glad I had took so many pictures because even with them, I keep saying I cant believe that happened. I have caught a ton of browns out of that bay but never after the beginning of June...
