Lower Mystic, MA Fishing Report

Pig In The Rain

The hawgheckler and I decided to do some after work fishing. We knew it was going to rain but so far this year rain has been productive. And we both felt this was going to be no exception. Got on the water around 6:30 and soon after the heckler was throwing a buzzbait around and got a vicious strike but it seemed she was just smacking it because no hook up. Soon after I got a nice strike on a jitter bug and landed a 2lb 3 oz LM. A little while later the heckler pulled in a 1lb 8oz LM on a senko. It was getting to be dark and almost 8:30 and we had no lights so we were about to wrap it up, I decided to make one more cast with a senko to some lilly pads. On the fall I felt a couple taps and pulled back a little and realized there was something there so I set the hook hard. Then the fun began, a 3 min battle ensued. My rod was bent over almost to the water and whatever was on the other end didn't want to come up. After about a minute I thought I was hooked up with some huge catfish because I never even saw the fish and whatever it was felt huge. Finally it stopped moving around so much so I started to pull it up. As I got it to the surface I still couldn't tell what it was there was a ton of vegetation covering it. As the heckler got the net under it I finally saw that beautiful sight of her white belly and lateral line and new it was a big LM. Finally got it on board and she weighed out at 4lbs 1oz. She fought like she weighed 10lbs, but still a good fish and the best fight I ever had. Nothing better than fishing for a couple hours after work and pulling in a few nice fish.
