Fishing With Don

Weeks go by and I am getting my A$#@# kicked by Don! Another week, another beat up.

First let’s acknowledge something: I have changed. Last year I would have literally exploded if I missed a fish…this year, it takes like 3 or 4 nice misses for my blood to boil! Part of it is, I don’t really care, I am a happy camper cause i-gonna-be-a-daddy-soon, so other stuff don’t matter (even people driving at 29mph in a 30mph zone…)! And that’s the truth. I am really excited.

But I gotta give a round of applause to Don, because Mr. Don knows how to catch fish and it proves it week after week! If my count is right, Don caught 6 or 7 fish and over 10 pounds total last Saturday! That’s pretty damn good.

Here is a video of one of the nice smallmouth he caught:

I think Don caught 4 largemouth first, all keepers, and then 2 really nice smallmouth within 10-15 mn interval. I miss my first smallie of the season before Don had caught any smallmouth, but that freaken fish jumped out of the water like a whale and the hook did not get set correctly..bummer I tell you.

Here is a picture of the second smallmouth Don caught - a really nice fish:

This week end, we’re aiming back at Quaboag because we’ll only have a few hours to fish in the morning, so stay tune as I hope to turn things around a bit!
