2-18-12, my 1st fish of 2012!

Right before lunch time, I took a 2.7 mile rehab walk around the lakes with my wife. Saw a few guys fishing and finally had enough! hmm Time to get a little fishing in!  big_smile

So...this almost 2 pounder (1.91lbs to be exact) hit my black/sliver 1/4 oz spinnerbait!

Even better, it was on a retro rod! This 40+ year old rod, a St. Croix fiberglass (with all metal guides), was totally redone by Joe Onarato of J & J Sports Services.  It's a great rod for spinnerbaits and crankbaits.

I threw a few other baits in my 45 minutes out there but this was the only fish.


Time to go fishin' again!

Yes a very nice 1.9 pounder, but the "ruler will rule" for the contest!
