Slow Bite - Big Payoff
Guess regularroy already beat me to the punch guess I'll be repetitive here, and share another story from the Ponk.
Headed out later Saturday evening to get some in before the nasty weather hit. Accompanying me as always is my good buddy evanm24. Got there around 5:30ish pm. Started out with the trusty Texas rigged worm that has brought me success there in the past. Bite was slow. Couple nibbles here and there but nothing taking. Finally after sometime managed to snag a LMB out of the pads. Nothing special about 12". Evanm24 was getting bites left and right but as was the story of day, having trouble landing anything.
Got to give credit where credit is due, Evanm24 switched to the frog and had a couple nice hits and advised I do the same. One the second cast, BAM! Frog was destroyed and given that I am new to frog bassin, my hesitation aka shock actually paid off as it gave me the perfect time to set the dang thing. Figured it was a least 2-3lbs judging by the fight and drag, but once I got this Larry to the surface and brushed the salad away, I had myself an nice little 21inch lunker on a Booyah Pad Crasher
Only managed a couple of fish, before night set in and it started to rain. Quantity was not in the cards but nothing wrong with quality.
Nice! Ponki never ceases to amaze me.
Ponk has been quite rewarding this season thus far. The pad crasher is the regular size not the JR.
