Hardcore Hybrids.........Part 2

[GetANet]

Well, I was contemplating going today or not and Phil asked me if I was going so rather than sit home pissed all day I took a chance. 40% chance of rain so I knew I was gonna get wet but went for it anyway. The ride up was looking so so till I got close and hit the first thunderstorm. Got to the ramp about eight and Phil and Tom were already on the water. We fished in a on and off in a monsoon of rain/lighting/thunder in between periods of sunshine.
Some body really pissed off mother nature today! Anyway about an hour and a half in I get my first, nice five pounder! Was happy with that not expecting much. Not long after the drag is screamin again!! After a lengthy battle in the pouring rain I slid the net under her belly and screamed for joy!
The fish was a BEAST, EIGHT POUNDS TWO OUNCES!!!! Beating my personal best of seven and a half by ten ounces!!!! Missed one and lost one after that, then it slowed up for a few hours. We docked the boats for safety during one of the storms and had some laughs. Phil had a big fish too and wanted me to weigh it for him. His fish went SEVEN POUNDS ONE OUNCE!!!
His Personal Best as well!!!! So after the rain let up we headed back out and fished for a while without much going on and then I hook up again and break off! I was not happy about that as you could imagine so kept at it and the reels screamin again! While i'm fighting this one the other reel starts screamin and I'm screamin DOUBLE HEADER!!!! YEEEEEEEA!!!! I landed BOTH FISH!!!!! YEA BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! went back at it and again another which I landed!!! WHAT A WAY TO END THE SUMMER,ON FIRE IN THE RAIN!
