Scene of the Crime

[NJSquatch]

After the M&G frustration of last week I had to get out one more time before wrapping the boat up for the winter.

Woke up to perfect fishing conditions on Saturday. High 50's, overcast and light winds. Three of us headed out and marked a ton of fish. Surface water temps were still 56 degrees.

Fish were very aggressive and it was drop and reel for about an hour. Caught a ton of white perch, just over a dozen hybrids mostly cookie cutters but I landed my PB. She went just over 6 lbs. YES!!!!!!!



I will be haunted by the 2 monsters I lost. I set the hook into one and it didn't even budge. Once it realized it was hooked the drag screamed bloody murder all the way to the anchor line and pop! Almost broke the rod over my knee.

Had another one on but the 6' med/light rod and 6# test I was using were no match.

They are right about the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat!

I'll Be Back Mr Hybrid....I'll Be Back!!
