High Noon

[BSmaster]

I have to learn to be a little early or a little late but right now I am right on time and I paid for it on Sunday.  First time for everything.

 

Intention that morning was not to jig for bass but was to go get some perch but the lake was rough so we switched.  I went with the heaviest weight in the bag because of the wind so it made the missed hook set a big missile.  Gamakatsu hooks are sharp.  My hook set was straight up so it came sailing out of the water right at me and the reflex was not to move out of the way but to put my arm up.  I think the lesson is that high noon hook sets are bad.  I am gonna try 12.05 next time.

That looks like it might have caused a little discomfort!  One very good reason to wear sunglasses even if the sun is not an issue.

Im more of a 1 oclock guy....been there done that...im a 1-2 oclock caster too...been there done that also...im a pliers in the net guy too...you guessed it been there done that more than once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Nothing worse than being hooked with the lure still in the flopping fish still in the net, especially if its a big tiger you don't wanna kill or harm.
