Yak Trip To The Nip

Took out the yaks again the nip, on May 24th. The top water bite was on! The rebel pop-r preformed again. The weeds were starting to come in at the back, and the bass were feeding. I pulled up a few small bass and pickerel and then found the big fish right by the mouth of the river. I got a few 2 pounders and a nice 4.72 pounder too. I had read in a bass master article that guys were using one and 2 pound line to catch bass, so on the way back to the ramp, I took out my ice fishing rod rigged with 2 pound line and used a chartreuse senko. I got a bite that snapped my line, and I was now determined to catch a fish on the ice fishing rod. So I put on another 5 inch senko and hooked up with a 1.75 pound largemouth. It took me about 5 minutes to reel in, and an impressive net job by my buddy, but I got it, took a few pics and revived the fish to let him
Swim another day after a memorable fight. The fish will soon be on the move, moving out of the back and to the east and west sides of the nip.
