Outstanding October- Pool 8 Bass at IDOfishing.com

I had the opportunity to get out again both Thursday and Friday this weekend as we did not have school either day. Thursday we made the adjustment to fishing largemouth when we realized that the current, high water, debris, along with adverse weather just made smallmouth fishing seem like a bad idea. Instead we went for largemouth in protected areas using a jig, jerkbait, rat-l-trap, and 6" flutter spoon to pound the crud out of some fat healthy largemouth. In an attempt at a little inner-team competition, and to get used to managing 10 fish in my livewell for a day, we kept our limits til the end of the day. At the end of the day Justin had 5 for 13 lbs 9 oz and I had 5 for 14 lbs 15 oz. overall it was a good day. I wish the water/weather conditions were better but that's what you get when you fish the "post season:" adversity. Friday I fished with Old rat and we had somewhat similar results. The extreme wind and lack of oil in my boat forced us off the water after 4 hours but we again put some healthy fat fish in the boat. Old Rat capped the day off with a fat 4 lber that ate his spinnerbait. All in all, a good weekend on the water. Wish It could have carried over onto the football field to make the ultimate weekend, but we just couldn't hang on in the 4th quarter (after controling the game quarters 1,2,& 3 a) as we took a season ending loss 27-20 to Marshfield (who beat Logan 47-12 last week) in round 2. I was still happy to have my senior season end with an impressive record of 9-2. We tied for conference champions and made it to round 2 of the playoffs. We got 9 wins, tied for most ever in Central football history. I got a good amount of playing time at Right guard and on special teams. Most of all, we had fun and I will never forget the times I had the past 4 years. I'll leave you with a change up pic since most are not familiar with the 2nd aspect of my life that consumes 5 months of the year, football.
