While fishing the wood structure for crappie, Don throws a
big bait into the cove hoping for a bigger bite. Fishing for the MAD Show has been
off and on all year long so I knew he was due for a big fish. First cast out
and his rod bends over with a heavy fish. The bite was so hard we both swear we
could hear it under the water.
These are the moments both of us live for and both of us
hold our breath it seems until the other one lands the fish. There is no
hesitation when it comes to helping with the photo op and at times I have to persuade
this guy to let me use these pictures on my blog.
The lure used was a jig combo that I put together several
years ago. Once you get the right materials it snaps together lickety-split. Later
I asked him what he was throwing and he said, “Your lure.” I missed the first
part and only caught what sounded like “lures”.
“No #$%^!” I responded as if Don was holding out on me. “I
didn’t think you were throwing live bait…seriously…what are you throwing?”
“YOUR LURE!” he responded holding up the jig-combo. We
laughed for about 30 minutes straight.
It is still good fishing you, Don. The one guy that can get up
early to the meet spot and doesn’t sell out the fishing locations that I meticulously
dig up.
My name is Matt and still a proud member of The MAD Fishing
Show.

that fish is a testimony to your fishing skill--caught on your lure! Funny story.
