Florida Peacock Bass Fishing Part II - LOAD WARNING
- Thread starter JuanTamad
- Start date
Caught the male PB below that was 15.5 inch after a few cast. Got the hook off in seconds. Was thinking perfect for breeding tank and placed it inside fish bag to float on the water while I catch its partner. That's when what seems to be an easy catch turned into the most difficult, so far.
It tried to jump out of the bag, causing me to drop the bag, and the bag with it landed on my lure and got tangled with the treble hooks on the lure
The bag with the lure:
I tried to untangle the hooks. After what seems like an eternity, gave up and threw the bag with the fish in the water to save it.
Hooked up with the other fish which promptly dove into some weeds got off the hook and left my other lure tangled up with weeds. Managed to save the lure. Decided to try to take the lure that tangled up with the bag with fish in it in the water. I would free one hook then managed to tangle up the other hooks. After 15 minutes of this and after puncturing my thumb with one of the hooks gave up again and threw the bag and fish back in the water.
Found the other fish again, hooked it again. This time it managed to get behind some rocks. Somehow got off the hook and left my lure stuck in the rocks. After wading in the water and got into position to free my lure, gave up for the day
When about to open my front door, cell phone rings. Guess who's calling? Neo.....
What a day!!!...At least I'll have fresh fish on the grill tonight
Many Thanks, Li. You killed a stud of a PB in my bucket
Just kidding, this fish was destined to be food.
