10-18-2006 Brown Fish and the Minner

[MrWiskers]

Today Yankee Skeeter took me out to chase some brown fish (smallmouths of course). The day started out slow as I lost the first smallmouth I hooked (around 10") so we decided to keep busy catching some spots and small largemouths. When and Why showed up a little later and took us to their secret spot (which looks a lot like MB's secret spot). It did not take long before When and Why started catching a few brown fish and Yankee Skeeter put our first brown fish in the boat (again about 10"). I got the next one at about the same size. A few minutes passed and When sticks a pig....er cat. The fish turned out to be a 20lb or so blue caught within 10 feet of the bank. Being the catfish pro that I am I volunteered to land the creature. When did a good job playing the fish up to the boat and just as I stuck my thumb on his lower jaw (yep, I was gonna lip the thing), it shook its head and the hook went flying by my head. The fish was gone. YS did a picture of me trying to get the fish. Another 20-30 minutes passed and YS sets the hook on a nice 2lb smallie. As he is playing it to the boat, Why sticks a smallie that would probably go 2.5lbs. A two boat double!!! All in all a nice day on the water and I got to see some techniques on catching the brown fish on the river.

Thanks for the ride YS and it was good to meet you When and Why.

I almost forgot the best part. I caught the smallest bass I have ever seen caught with a rod and reel. The thing was 3 inchs long. Even Fat Albert would have a hard time catching on this small.emoLaugh

Dang Micheal! What is Skeeter gonna catch Saturday now? You sore mouthed his fish!!!

</p>

Nice Smallies When and Why. Sounds like you guys had a good time and that does look like a MB run!</p>

 

[Skeeter]

I knew it. Sabatauge. You just cant trust folks these days. What has the world came to. The first time i met Mr. Wiskers i was gracious enough to let him catch a beautiful Smallie. Then how dose he repay me. By breaking a blade off my prop, sore mouthing all my fish for Spot fight, not tellng his secret weapon lure at the mapstudy and sending me offinsive PM's all night long. I have nightmares after reading some of them. But then again some of them make me laugh till i hurt. Like i will beat you at Spot Fight. AAAWWW man he is a funny DUDE!!!!

Geez Skeeter, I had no idea it was that bad.

</p>

 Maybe we could get you some therapy?

Yes BBass I think some theropy is in order here. I think some cold beer and pretty women should do the trick. But the more you drink the better the warm beer taste. I dont think i like where this is going. emoToast

Skeeter I hope the picture of me catching one of your keeper spots does not scare you off Saturday.emoPoke

 

[Skeeter]

I proablly wont be able to sleep now that i seen that. I hope your happy.emoPoke It kinda looked like the one i tied up to the gravel colored rock Tuesday. You left the string there right?

 

[Buoy-Master]

Uh...

[Skeeter]

It could have been. They all look alike so its hard to tell. the size was right.

That's a great post Mr. Wiskers. Had a great time. But I wish you would catch something bigger than your crankbait emoLaugh
