big "D" report 12/13

[FASTEDDIE29]

Hit the great big river this afternoon from 1 til dark. Day started off promising and it was quite lovely for the most part. Targeted species, WALLEYE!!! Managed to bang 2 shorts on the jig within the first 15 minutes of the trip. they were both short, 1@16, 1@15.5. Had I been in Pa both of those Walleye would've been filleted and released, LOL!!!! After that there was a dead period. I start switching baits and decide to throw on the trusty old Binsky. 2nd cast the lure gets slammed on the first quick jig. Oh yeah buddy, I'm amped! Fish feels nice and heavy especially in the little bit of current I'm fishing in. Fish is digging and diving and doesn't want to come in. I get the specimen close thinking it's a big old river Eye, NOT!!!!!!! Turns out to be a Channel cat, 24 incher around 5lbs. This damn cat thought it was a Walleye, head shaking then making that one last deep dig once it got close to land. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, It's a fish and I'll take it. Catfish is real lucky I didn't feel like nailing his crazy bottom feeding arse to a tree and skinning em up! After that, the NW wind started swirling around pretty good and no fish were caught. Stuck it out til magic hour but nothing wanted what I was offering. It was a fantastic day to be out. All in all a pleasant day with A couple fish caught. YEA BUDDY!!! TIGHT LINEZ!!!!!!
