The Conquering Of Long Pond: Anglers Unite!

I invited fellow anglers Napa and BB up to Northwood for the weekend. Our buddy Deco came as well. We also brought the women with us - potential mistake but that story is for another time.

We arrived Friday night after work and started slammin beers and crushing food with my sister and brother in law. We mostly just partied on Friday and prepared to wake up early Saturday morning to hit the pond with authority.

Saturday morning and everyones a bit hungover. B and I decide to hit the pond at 7 AM and we load up the cooler. Conditions are ideal and there is absolutely no wind at all. The pond is complete glass. I bring him to my favorite spot on the lake. After we make an offering, B sees some ripples close to the shore and starts peppering the spot. Moments later he angles a bass out from between some lillies. A few moments later I catch a solid bass that was about 2.5 lbs. We both catch nice pickerals and he catches another solid bass. All of this happens within an hour and we know its going to be a real good day.

We go pick up Napa at the shore and we continue to pull Larry;s out of the water. The days work was producing healthy bass consistently. After another hour or so we go and pick up Deco and continue angling. We find another nice spot near an island as Napa tells Deco to pepper a rock he sees. Deco makes a perfect angle and pulls out a real nice 2.13 Larry. Napa makes a textbook angle and lands in about 6 inches of water and pulls out a nice 2.9 bass. We angle for a little bit longer and head back to the shore for lunch.

B and I pass out on couches while Napa and Deco head back out on the pond. After a good 45 mins I wake back up and then we take the girls out on the lake. Courtney and Lia both catch a couple cute bass and enjoy themselves. The days total fish count is at about 25-30 with 15-20 healthy looking bass.

We head back to the shore for dinner and continue getting hammered. We attempt to go jitterbugging but there is no moon at all and everyone is quite sloppy. We dont get a single bite and call it quits after about an hour and a half. We chill around a fire while we plan on another early expedition and then pass out.

Sunday morning arrives and conditions are no longer ideal. There is a bit of wind and rough waters that limit where we can fish on the lake. Napa and I are the only ones who wake up early so we pack the cooler and hit the water. He catches a few nice pickeral but I am struggling to get any bites at all. We fish for a few hours and I am starting to lose patience. After such an epic day we are striking out in a big way. We havent even seen a Larry this day but at least Napa is pulling out a few solid pickeral. The women are getting angry at how little theyve seen of us and were starting to feel the heat. Finally I cast into a weedy area with lillies covering it. As I begin to reel in I am feeling a bit of resistance and I think Im just stuck on weeds and lillies for the 200th time that day. Thats when she breaches and Napa and I saw the slobs face above water. GET THE NET. I reeler her in steady and Napa netted her easily. It was a BEAUTIFUL lunker. We took some nice photos and threw her on the scale. She weighed in at 3.11 and she was the apple of my eye. This was the most cooperative slob I've ever dealt with, she didnt fight at all. She knew she was in good hands and after we weigher her in, I gently set her back down into Long Pond.

It was an awesome booze fueled trip.
