A picture is worth a thousand words! Lil' Shaka and I were not even planning to hit this pond up. This secret honey hole that we won't reveal gave us the best experience of the year. On a whim I decided to stop the truck and give it a shot. I said, "Well, what do we have to lose. We have a little time, let's try it out." This was the weekend after Thanksgiving 2020.
When we showed up, I tried a couple things like a shaky head finesse worm. I got a little discouraged as I was pulling up a ton of moss and grass from the pond bottom. I decided to give the double willow leaf spinnerbait a try and BANG! For whatever reason these monsters were hungry for the spinnerbaits.
This pic above is the spinnerbait we were using. It was the
H20 Xpress Double Willow Leaf Spinnerbait that did the trick. I picked up a few of these at the local Academy Sports which is a quick "go to" for son and I. Well, it is probably also a fun "hangout" for us too!
There was something about this lure on that day because I couldn't miss with it. Lil' Shaka caught his personal best 3.5 pounder also with a spinnerbait. Although, he was not using a double willow leaf and instead was using a white colorado spinnerbait.
We were catching absolute donkeys! It will be tough to match the experience of bringing in one after another of this size. We caught at least 5 of these giants in less than one hour.
This is definitely a day I will never forget. And, I am documenting the experience right here in my post so I never forget the joy we had. This is what fishing is all about. For every time you get skunked out there folks, I encourage you to think about those days you absolutely kill it out there on the water! Have a great day, stay committed, stay driven.
