So, I have spent quite a few evenings and nights chasing "phantoms" this spring, summer and fall. I new they were there; but spent countless hours hucking baits into the darkness to no avail. So, on a last minute whim I tried it again. For three hours prior to darkness nadda....Then a change of lure to a cheap ass BPX jerkbait and bam the curse of the "Zman Sagging Mooseknuckle" was over and my vamping career will continue on a quest for the elusive 10lber. The first fish was a chunky smallie just over 19" and over 4lbs. Within 5 casts I got what I was looking for a PB Saugeye 24" and and official weight of 5.02 lbs once I got home. I landed another 18 1/2" saugeye minutes later and then nothing for the next two hours.

Don't normally keep too many fish but after all those hours....WHY NOT???

the only constant I see here is you ditched Slayer and caught fish!

LMFAO. Never thought about it that way. But I talked to you after the fact.... Next outing will tell the story.

Congrats man. Nice fish

Thanks. Seemed like it would never happen at times. But, I guess I had to pay my dues. Hopefully the next one won't be so far in between trips....

Thanks guys.

Ice fishing is not far off.

Can't wait. So in need of a few days off from the grind.

Nice Saug!! There are even bigger ones there, but they are pretty hard to catch!

I have no "eyedea" where "there" is because my lips are sealed. Gonna visit another "there" over the weekend closer to home. Supposedly they grow 'um big as well.
