  • Black Hills Hawg

    I had my new Hurricane Skimmer 128 out yesterday on it's maiden voyage. I took it to Black Hills lake in Montgomery County. It was nice weather. Overcast, a few showers, and warm but not hot, I did ok. I got three, and swung and missed on a fourth. One of them was this huge fish. I didn't have a scale or a Hawg Trough so I don't really have an idea how big it was. But it was a nice fish nonetheless. Its still there if you want to try and catch it!

    All my fish were caught on standing submerged timber. I saw a few other fishers but I only saw one guy catching fish. The guy that was catching fish was fishing in a inflatable Sea Eagle. He was tethered t a submerged tree and crappie fishing. I think I must have seen him catch at least 20, so I'm guessing he caught ay least double that many.

            I had trouble putting together a reliable pattern yesterday. The Big Bas was caught near but not on standing timer in about 10 FOW with a 3/8 oz. sexy shad spinnerbait. The smaller two were both caught on a pearl white Senko that was dropping down vertical standing tree trunk.

                      Nice Bass! When all other measuring devices are left behind lay the fish next to your fishing rod and measure to where the fish lined up on the fishing rod after the trip.

                          Very nice fish indeed. Definitely looks to be several pounds.

                          Shady - Thats exactly what I do when I don't have a measuring devise handy. Most rods have most of their dimensions printed on the rod just ahead of the grip. I lay my rod right next to the fish with the rod's butt even with the tail of the fish, then look to see where the mouth is located on the rod. Measure the rod later when you get home.

                            I'm mixing work and pleasure here but I'd say that's a nearly 19" fish. I grafted a tail on from another pic, used your middle finger in the foreground as a scale, and I get 18 7/8". Assuming I'm close on the scale, 2-1/8" to 2-1/2" is typical.

                            Yes, I do have more important things to be doing but none are as fun as this.
