10514, RE: Dumbest big bite you ever got Posted by strbass, Wed Jun-18-08 02:18 PM
Fishing a ledge that has always been productive and has a sandy adjacent point if you can even call it that. I've never caught sh1t off of it.
set up on the ledge for nada, then all hell breaks loose on the point, to bad it was carp spawning and going nuts. probably around 8 of them foaming up the water. So i figure what the hell and throw across the point. (not one bite all day)
about 1/2 way into the retrieve i get absolutely crushed, fought like a champ but only turned out to be 8 1/2 lbs hooks fell out in the net, camera batteries dead.
Not bad considering the big motors battery was dead before we launched. Had to keep swappin one battery back and forth.
apparently it was a bad day for batteries :-(
