Yep...
End of the day at sundown, getting dark, and still hadn't caught any BASS on the lure. So, I tried again at a spot I was successful at earlier in the day, but open water, figuring BASS would be off bed feeding when, BAM! "Finally!" I thought. By the way it was fighting, I could swear it was a BASS, albeit a smaller one but, to my surprise, a catfish with part of a plastic bag attached. I had a heck of a time removing the treble too, and made him bleed pretty good.
BTW, what's up with plastic bags and catfish? I've caught a catfish on a Rapala Crankbait with a plastic bag attached before as well...
Help!
Im in a slump right now. It's almost as if I don't know how to fish anymore. My casting is off, I'm getting hung up on everything, I can't keep the line untangled on my reel, and the fish are not there anymore. This sucks! I need to get things done around the house anyways... smh...

In the dog house on your anniversary does it every time...back out on the water seeking "tight lines."
I arrive on the north side of the pond and immediately hear my name, "GARY!" from across the opposite side. When I look up, I see a guy holding up a fish as high as he can, but I can't tell who it is. When I focus a bit harder I can see that its a good sized HAWG.
"You have a scale?" I yell back.
"No," he responds.
"I'll be right there," as I begin to run.
About half way through the good 600 yds, my legs just stop working, and I'm just flat out winded! I push as hard as I can, knowing he has a fish out of water, literally! I finally turn the corner and there stands Rob, a guy I met at Birch Grove in Northfield about a month ago. Once I told him about the near seven pounder at Heritage, he's been hooked.
So, I drop my poles and break out the scale. Rob mounts the fish and I see "4._" on the screen as it spins out of view and errors. After zeroing the scale and rehanging the fish, "3 lbs. 15 3/8 oz. beeps on the screen. Rob'll settle for a four pounder!
