Wading the eastern shore 11/31 one year. Casting a Yo Zuri, C&R'ed a couple of trout. Hooked & lost a BIG trout. I was bummed about that. Right at dusk reeling in the Yo Zuri at the surface a few feet from me, a huge bass comes out of the water & nails it.
Biggest Largemouth that I ever caught,....2 feet in length.
Do you hike all the way out there? I'm sure that has to take awhile!
