November Pond Fishing
I had about an hour to kill and as always I had a rod and tackle box in the back of my truck... Decided to check out a pond back in the woods that Ive fished for years with awesome results... It's private property.. but I have never been chased... anyway... it was windy and cold ( 48 degrees).... Landed a 4.5 pound bass on a purple 7 inch worm and caught three pickerel on a bagleys. It was awesome nailing the bass... one of my largest of they year.... but I saw a pickerel chase my lure right up to the bank just under where I was standing.... no BS,,,,, this was one of the largest pickerel I have ever seen... it had to weigh around the 6 to 7 pound range... looked about 30 inches long and wide and fat! It swam right up to my lure and opened its mouth and flared its gills as I pulled the lure out of the water..... it just stayed there for like 15 seconds and swam away..... my heart was racing man.... I tried like hell to catch it.... used about a half dozen different lures but nothing... I will be back... in the mean time... catching that bass made my day!!
