Great Day At Gallows Pond & Jacobs Pond
Headed out to Gallows Pond in Plymouth today with Regan91 to our secret spot, nothing special lure wise. Just fishing with Shiners, hooked into A LOT of big fish. My first cast I was into a big largemouth and it spit my hook on a jump and my hook/bobber came flying back at me. I threw on another shiner, my 2nd cast. I got slammed by a legit 5 pound Smallmouth, I reeled him into me in the water, because we we're wading out waist deep with our bathing suits. I got him right to my legs, and as I grabbed him he made one last thrash, snapped my line and swam off with my hook in the corner of his mouth. I couldn't even believe I lost a Smallie THAT big. I was in a cold sweat I was so mad haha. Luckily my next couple of casts I hooked into 3 nice 2-3 pound Smallies. My friend Gage caught himself a nice Smallie as well. He lost 2 fish as well, there was a another guy wading out next to us, and he showed us a picture of a 6 pound Larry he caught like 30 minutes before we showed up. The fish in Gallows are insanely strong. Big fish with lots of strength. We left Gallows around 4-430 and picked up our friend Jess, we headed out to Jacobs to use up some Nightcrawlers the guy at Gallows gave us, and the rest of our shiners. We hooked into some nice Crappie and a couple of smaller Larry's. This was the 3rd time our friend Jess had ever been fishing in her life haha, we took her for her first 2 and this trip as well. She caught her very first Largemouth, a good size too, around 2 lbs and a nice Crappie. She was psyched. All in all a GREAT Saturday.
