Well, so I promised Corey that'd I'd give her the first springer I caught this year. I was hoping that'd give me good luck for the rest of the season. I thought I'd be giving her a 12 pounder or something like that though. Bob said she was gonna hold me to it. So oh well, guess I'll have to hit them up for some dinners.

So were pulling K-11's hitting most the decent holes hoping to get either a fresh steelie or bump into a nice eating springer on our second favorite OP river. Missed a take down. Caught a down river almost re-bright. Action was a bit slower than the other day. There's this one hole though that Brett Lowe showed me last year where the possibility of getting mr. springer is a good option. We put 'em out, the mighty K-11's are doing there dancing thing when the right one goes steady but hard down...then back up, but not all the way up, then just burries. The rod was buckled but not too much line peeling, we realize the drag was still set super tight from Phil the other day so we loosened it up a bit, and the fight was on, luckily before the thing busted off with that super tight drag. It made though quick nasty power springer runs, half splashed once or twice. We saw it was a nice fish but not sure exactly how nice. After a couple more solid runs, with one of them going upriver from us we realized we'd better find a better spot to get the thing in. Just down river a bit was a nice gravel bar with fairly deep water next to it, it was perfect spot. We fought the fish while heading slowly there. It was getting me re-excited for fall kings. I grabbed the net that I didn't forget this time, and after getting her in realized it was an excellent specimen. A big ol' hen. Perfect. I was already thinking about the juicy barb-b-q's I was gonna be having when I realized who the fish was going to....Corey. Oh well, it's worth it as I've learned so much from her hubby and she's put up with me. But, at least we got the killer take down and fight out of her. So we knew it was big. But didn't realize just how big it was. We put her on the scale and she tipped at 32#! Holy crap. What a fish. Awesome since most we catch there aren't even close to this big, plus I thought I'd get to eat a little of it at the mighty Ball's house. Totally cool. Then I thought... which doesn't happen often.. but I thought I better get some good pics cuz I couldn't wait to post it on the internet and show English Pete what kind of a 32# fish you should be bonking. Here is the pic.




























HA!





HAHAHAHA!.......that is Lovetofish365 or something like that style.



Sorry.




Kinda.


Yeah, this entire story was a made up joke, but hey, it was good while it lasted.

I actually waited to look at the picture (sort of a desert after dinner thing) until after I read the whole darn thing. Ya got me!

I swear addicted's imagination runs rampant. He waited till it was officially April fools to post it too. I read it and believed it, I'm taking away his crayons this weekend. I hope this is the last April fools joke of the day, as I have to go talk to the owner of my company about a promotion. I hope to hell he does not put a whopee cushion under my seat.

That fish is NOT 32lbs.

That is not even a Springer!

That is not a boot, look at it again. IT IS CHROME White, fresh out of the ocean.

No!! Two in a row! First Jerry's, now Rico's!

I'm slow, but I'm getting the picture. Sure hope no one decides to post anything serious today.

You guys suck!

Caught a down river almost re-bright

Maybe we should get Addicted elected to the State Senate so he can write some bills, he has a talent that shouldn't be wasted.

Smelt fishy from the start,but like said above "Rampant Imagination".Good luck,
STRIKE ZONE

Me too!

You will have to look close, but can you believe SNOW on April 1st?????????????

Man, that's twice today already. Good one! Captain

Captain, I have to tell the truth, it really was snowing in Seabeck this morn, I could not get the pic to come up so my devious mind decided to put up the post as was...........Chuck G

Why is that springer "clipped"? They don't clip those fish.

Nice Photoshop job on that fish. I'm not buying it. You used Photoshop to clip off that adipose fin.

hahaha...too funny...love it...c

Addicted-

Did you use the new RvrFshr anchor to subdue that beast?

glad to see you posting up a storm, you are en fuego!!!

Yeah, that's the really cool part about the RVFSHR pontoon boat anchor, ya pull some extra line off once the fish is beached, and use the anchor to English Pete (bonk) your fish. Any RVFSHR product with a dual use is always good.

I'm hoping to English Pete a couple real springers next week.

Damn! So much for the BBQ'd springer at the Ball's.... Quit screwing around on your computer and go catch one for Fishgal

I've been punk'd. Good one Addicted....

2nd best april fools I've seen today rico

I swallowed that story hook, line, and sinker. Watch your back Rico; I'll get you one of these days.
