I was being a rebel, and did not purchase a fishing license, so, it was going to be a very short outing. I was tossing a black spinnerbait with a Colorado blade. In my short time I was able to hook up with a beautiful smallmouth bass. I hooked up with 2 of the biggest white bass I have ever seen, but I was unable to bring them to hand, and they self released after going airborne. I also, snagged a line that had a live gar the end of it, but I wasn't able to get the line close enough to grab, so, I could help set the fish free. Bummed about that one.
Looking forward to returning out there for an extended trip, and getting a fishing license, so, I'm not looking over my shoulder after every cast.
No license? Only illegal if you get caught.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but I'm not one to fish without one. I wasn't expecting to fish, but my best friend kept insisting. Peer pressure got to me.
DeleteI learned long ago to not press my luck with fishing licenses. I am quite sure my luck has not changed...............................
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, that is a really nice Smallie!
Thanks, Mel! Yeah, I don't like fishing without a license, either.
DeleteI honestly have a hard time believing anyone would fish without a license and brag about it.
