7816, Crazy for huddleston at Lake Murray
Posted by basskid254, Tue Apr-11-06 07:03 PM
Today made me so mad at murray because my huddleston snapped off. Before it snapped off tho the bass were all over it. I was fishing over near the boat dock with daniel and this kid mike and the bass would follow it up and hit every cast. The first time made me knees shake when i wasn't expecting this 8 pounder to come out of nowhere and nail it. There was a school of about 5 fish ranging from what it looked like 5 up to 12 pounds and all of them were taking swipes at it.When they seemed to dissapear for a little while i make a long cast and nothing seems to happen for a while until i look up and feel a large thump. Set the hook but it flies right of it's mouth. Then the bass starts thrashing the bait on top of the water and i must of hooked it 5 times that same cast. I finnaly think its hooked good about 15 feet from shore and the fish starts pulling hard. Next thing i know my huddleston flies back at my face. I got too excited because the bass were so aggressive and i could see 4 or 5 nice ones following it when it flew back at me. During my hyperness i go to cast very quick behing the fish when the line tangles around the tip of the rod and all i hear is pop and dont feel any weight and i new what happened imediately and i got pissed off. x( I did catch one fish dropshotting shortly after around 2 or so pounds and that was it. I'm still very pissed off and can't keep wearing myself out thinking about those bass that i lost. I better go out and get me a new huddleston soon and head out to murray again.
