If we all keep releasing our larger fish (and the smaller ones too) and we'll all have that chance.

Yammy - that's such a great fish. Congratulations! I really like you caught her doing something totally out of the ordinary....zigzagging on 10....that's classic Yam. You've been preaching " mix it up" and that's 40+ inches of evidence. Well done my friend.

Yammy - that's such a great fish. Congratulations! I really like you caught her doing something totally out of the ordinary....zigzagging on 10....that's classic Yam. You've been preaching " mix it up" and that's 40+ inches of evidence. Well done my friend. For the record, I was not implementing my personal philosophy of doing things differently. I actually was pulling much slower than typical thinking that slowing down was better for the winter. 2 days prior, my biggest fish was caught while I was practically stopped. What happened was that I was in narrow water and a guy on the bank was shooting his very loud gun up ahead. The loud echoes and the fact that I didn't see him and he didn't see me scared the heck out of me. I actually ducked down in my boat and turned the TM to max and made a stupid quick turn to get away from what I perceived as danger. This resulted in 3 planers flying across the water at mock speed and 3 planers becoming a rats nest. The very outside planer then got hit after the turn was done and my boat was heading in the opposite direction. To top it off, the fish then decided to work his way into my rats nest and to be honest, I looked like an idiot trying to land this thing. That's classic Yammy!

That's even better then you intentionally zigzagging down the bank....you were actually taking evasive action from unseen incoming....a lesser man would've taken credit for clever strategy.

Using your boat as a foxhole - brilliant fishing strategy!! Where is the GoPro footage of you diving to the deck? LOL!!!
Are you filling sandbags to pile on the gunnels for your next trip? Maybe do an Apocalypse Now trip to the upper Roanoke?
