Well, today was the first day fishing in over three weeks because of the heat
and drought.. It was great.. I caught 76. Caught 74 bluegills and 2 Shell
Crackers (Red Eared Sunfish).. And the exciting part was, on at least 6 of
those fish, big bass followed the bluegills all the way to the boat, trying to
eat the Gills. And in one case, the bass must have weighed 10 pound.. I'm
pulling the gill up out of the water when he come OUT of the water like Jaws..
Scared the heck outta Me..He almost landed IN the boat LOL..Another one was
probably 5 pounds, ate the tiny 3" bluegill I had on my size 14 wet fly, and
then caught the hook in his lip and I thought "Got me a bass now, AND a
bluegill in his mouth LOL.. Then, he turned and snapped the 4 pound tippet like
it was nothing... Oh well. They were biting great, Chuck
