One and only one. I've been on the struggle bus 2nd half of the summer and into the fall. But yesterday, for one and only one cast, everything lined up exactly as it should, exactly as I've seen on the videos and put into practice. 1) Using the FFS video, helped me realize when and where was the right place to cast. 2) The Albright Knot video, this allowed me to switch to lighter line and leader without losing my tackle. 3) How to Fight Fish video, I used my drag like a champ and fought a nice 3+ lb fish on light line, staying in control the entire way. In fact, to B-Lat's point in the video, once I got the fish in the net the hook just fell out. If I hadn't used my drag I might've lost the fish. Instead, the fish wore itself out and just came to the surface so I could scoop it with my net. I couldn't replicate this success at all the rest of the day, but for this one cast, I really felt like I was applying everything I'm learning here.

well tis the season. went to 3 different lakes near the house today and could not launch the boat. winter draw down is in full effect. i either winterize and put it away till spring or i head south. anyone interested in me bringing my boat to your lake and going fishing with you for the weekend or day? hit me up if your interested?
