Medical Lake Largemouth
« on: May 30, 2010, 09:15:09 PM »
Took the family out to one of the local lakes for an evening of fishing.  After throwing a Cabelas Mad Tommy Toad for a while, I decided to give the senko a try.  After a few casts, I feel that familiar tap...tap tap.  Give a little pressure, feel the weight, and go to set the hook.  Swing and a miss.  Few casst after that, same thing.  Finally, on the third strike I connect and the battle was on.  I land her and was in awe since I had told my wife that you can never tell the size of the fish by the bite on a senko.  What makes this fish extra special was we were fishing a lake that is selective gear rule.  For those not familiar with this, it means single, BARBLESS hooks only.  On top of that, I was using a light action rod.  Needless to say, I was fortunate to land her.  Took some rough measurements, 19" long by 15.5" girth.  A weight calculator on another site says 5.5 lbs.  Does that look about right from the pics?
