77 STRAIGHT days of Fishing COMPLETED !!!!

[MagicYaker]

Recently capped off a 17 straight day fishing marathon in honor of my late Gramps. Had to stop this past weekend for a wedding trip to New Jersey. I probably could of kept the streak going but would of had to get freshwater only fishing license for up there. No salt water license's are required, wish that was the same down here. Anyway starting back up for 77 straight days of fishing in honor of my Gramps. Wish me luck.

5-25 Took my Cuda out to a local bayou in Kingwood and landed about a 2-3lb LMB on Lake Fork Hyper worm shad colored Texas rigged. So much action out there was getting tails bit off left and right. Switched to a green YUM senko worm Texas rigged and WHAMO landed this huge PIG! proceeded to think why I didnt have a scale....oh well picked one up today. Easily 5lbs, and definately my PB for LMB on a yak. Started to get late so headed home.

5-26 Went out to a local pond to do some bank fishing and hauled in 2 Little guys and 2 1-2lb'ers. Definitely picking up for me anyway.

All were caught using REVO inshore with 15 lb braid on Gander Mtn. Vortex Rod.

WOW! What a tribute to Gramps! Even though it is not I, it makes me proud! My grandson was one of the 10% of the fisherman that catch 90% of the fish. I am blessed for having the opportunities to fish with him. What a fine young man you are paying tribute to your Gramps!!!?............cC

5-27

Not much to report. Went bank fishing at East end park trying to avoid the rain. Managed a few bites but nothing to show for it. Started raining pretty heavily so called it quits. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to take yak out.

Thanks! He is definitely looking down from the great beyond! Hope to one day fulfill his dream of fishing in Alaska.

5-28

Launched at Ponderosa around 1130. Finally stopped raining. But the fish were still scared of all the thunder an lightning that wasn't there cuz they sure weren't biting ANYTHING I was throwing. Tons of bait fish action but nothing I threw shad colored or shaped netted any results. Oh well there is always tomorrow. Hopefully I will have better luck!

5-29

Had to get some MOJO back so went to a spot I have had recent luck at. Caught 2 nice bass and 2 juvies...I wish i could have action like this on the water instead of bank fishing but I am not complaining when I am catching fish.

[MagicYaker]

6-2

Quick trip to the pond and only snagged a couple bites. Waiting for myarine bond to dry on fish finder before intake yak out.

6-3 Day 9

Well I was hoping to get out in test my FF today but dentist appt. and truck service kept me busy. Managed some pond time and results were horrible. No bites and I didn't even get to fish that long. Kind of feel like I'm cheating today but at least I got out there. Hope you guys are enjoying this thread even if there are not many responses. It keeps me motivated to continue and looking back in the future I will have something to remind me of this time frame in my life.

6-4 Day 10

Went out to my 'Honeyhole" and manged 5 of these little guys in about 30 min...It was pretty unfair I had 30lb braid and my Revo inshore. Gonna have to get lighter tackle to make it more fair LOL. Thanks for the feedback
Johnny and Deleon. I will be Yaking for sure Friday somewhere around Kingwood if anyone is down. LMK if interested.

6-5 Day 11
(Look at the color on this fish, definitely the lightest LMB I have caught.)

Well I finally got to take my yak out and test my FF. Everything worked great. The wind kind of put a damper on the fishing (trying to go for catfish to have a fish fry) but only managed a baby blue. Going out dark and early tomorrow AM Bens Branch bayou with a buddy. Hopefully I can pull another monster from there again and be able to weigh it.

I hopefully will get a fish count going as well. I take pictures of pretty much everything except when I am having difficulty removing hook, don't want to harm the fish.

6-6 Day 12

My buddy asked if he could partake in day 12 action and being as we were both work less today I obliged. Hooked him up with a Texas rigged Grande Bass Rattlesnake weightless and he caught 2 little guys right off the bat. I was throwing a shad crank bait and managed 1 small LMB. Fished for about 2 hours and then headed back. Gonna do some bank fishing tonight and hopefully land some catfish!

[MagicYaker]

6-7 Day 13

Took my neighbor out on his new Cuda 12 today so he could test the waters. He got a literal sliming as he caught a blue catfish. I managed to hook one LMB and then he proceeded to throw the hook. Hopefully I will be getting my Ctug today and will finally be all rigged up to go wherever! Will post today's report tonight.

6-8 Day 14

Had major swim meets to day as my son made the allstar team so big plans for going to a great fishing spot are put on hold for the next few weekends. I did hit up my "honeyhole again" and attempted to get some footage. I got one fish couple minutes in and proceeded to take a picture of it. Well I switched the camera to the front and didnt switch it back. So the next 5 videos I got, all of which had some great footage, were all of the background. Oh well...

[MagicYaker]

6-9 Day 15

Went out right as the rain was coming in on North Houston. Soon as I got my bait rigged down came the rain. I left my "honeyhole" to travel farther east hoping to get in some action where it wasn't raining. Manged about 15 mins of fishing and hooked one. I was so distracted by the lightning and storm coming in that I didn't set hook really hard and lost the fish when he jumped. I gave up and left as it was about to pour at that location too.

I let the storm pass and decided to head back put to the "honeyhole" with my son and try to get him to hook up with a bass. He hooked one and I told him to set the hook and he did....after he set the hook the initial time. So the line snapped and fish was gone. Re-rigged him up with 8lb braid light tackle and WHAMO! Landed his first bass, a 3.11 lb'er. I was super stoked for him. I was really impressed with how he handled the situation. He realized he wasn't gaining any ground on the fish as the drag was dragging out so he backed up and I helped him with the drag situation. Landed the fish and asked him if he wanted to hold it, he tried but then dropped it saying he was a little freaked out lol. Managed to get him to take a pic holdin it on the scale. Very good day of fishing!
