Fished for about 40 min. and was only a 1/2 hr late getting home. Fished a couple different colors and styles of Robo Zippers w/ not much happening. I finally stuck one about 25 min. into my stay, but it popped off when it jumped. Worked around to my other favorite area for a couple bites. On the last cast I got hammered and managed to get it in. It was about 3#. I think it was the same one I got the other night, but I'm not sure. Unfortunately, I'll probably know next time. I forgot my pliers in the car. The hook was waaay back and I just couldn't get it out. So, I bit the line as close as possible. I really feel bad about, but at least it wasn't buried. It was just too far in for me to get my fingers on it and back it out. Damn. I tried to do it all quick, sure hope it makes it.

I talked to a freind who used to fish the same 2 ponds years ago. But, he stopped because people weren't C and R'ing. Looks like they're bouncing back though. How long does it take for a LM to hit 12"? Are they as slow as Calicos?

Loving this fresh stuff,
