First Time On Ashland Pond
I had a decent day, starting off worming, and then switching to a jig on the way back. Got 5 or so smaller largemouth, about 12 inches or so. Worm got me a 17" in the woods, and it was a great fish. weighed in at 2lb 10oz. On the way back i got owned by something, i never saw the fish, but it bent my pole over and just ran with my line, drag cranked down for single hook operation. Luckily i was on my medium heavy pole with braid, and i still did not have enough power to control the situation. There was no clear water, as there were downed trees everywhere, and i lost it. Closest i came to seeing the monster was the knot on my leader.
Started at Norman road, and stopped before the dam to Hopeville, only because it was to shallow to continue. Must have not be to much further, as i was way past the 395. I ported over a downed tree, to the entertainment of an old man in a canoe watching and fishing.
