Magnum Torpedo

I went fishing again this morning. In the first pond, I got no bites at all and skunked. I gave up fishing, but changed my idea and headed to another pond. I saw water level of the pond got extremely low during the last winter, and I was anxious if fish would be still inhabited. However, when I started fishing there, I saw a big carp swimming near shore area, so I believed bass would be still there.

I kept casting my baits, though I changed and tried many types of lures, and fished almost 3/4 of the pond. I almost gave up catching a bass, but when I cast a Heddon Magnum Torpedo to a small shore spot, I noticed something start to chase it. I paused for a few seconds, and gave it a subtle action to rotate the tail prop several times. Bang! I got a big blow-up and set a hook hard. I felt a good response and the fish I hooked fought hard. I took time to try to catch it, but finally could land it. It was smaller than my first bass of this year, but was a nice bass. I felt happy not to get skunked today.

Today's tackle: ABU Ambassadeur 5000, Fenwick Lunkerstik 2053, Daiwa Sight Surf #4 (orange), Heddon Zara Spook, Chugger Spook, Lucky 13, Basser, Magnum Torpedo, etc.
