Day 2
The wind would blow a little harder today. I have never been on Falcon without much wind, especially two days. We started the same as the first day throwing square bills on shallow points. It would be a whole different day, right away Tommy lost a big fish. A little after that, Tommy hooked up with another good fish which he let Nick fight. Nick landed the fish, which weighed around 5lbs. Soon after that fish was caught, the twins started to catch fish after fish on soft plastics. I was fishing a little more today then the first day, and I threw a square bill. We ran around the upper end of the lake fishing points with drains. It was getting towards the end of the day. We pulled up to a point that Tommy said had some really big fish caught recently. Melissa cast up to the point, and as she engaged the reel her line was already moving out to deep water. She set the hook. I was watching her pole, and there was nothing she could do. She was just hanging on to the pole trying to keep it high. Just then the line broke, and we never saw the fish. I bet the fish was at least 10 lbs. Melissa was upset because she knew it was big. Two casts later, I caught a 7 pounder on a square bill; my biggest bass on a crankbait. I really wish the fish would have hit one of the twins’ poles. We decided to call it a day. The twins were upset, so Tommy decided to hit one more spot closes to the takeoff. I told Kyle to fish this Magnum Fluke, and if he got bit it should be a good fish. Next cast, Kyle catches a 5.5 pounder, and he was so happy to catch a good fish. The twins were tired and hot, but they did not want to quit. We ended the day with 105 fish and our 5 best was 27 lbs. It was a great day to catch over one hundred fish. For the total trip, we would catch 183 fish in two days with the biggest fish at 7 pounds. It was an awesome trip, and we made a lot of memories on one of the best lakes in the country with one of the best guides falconlakeguide.com. Leaving Falcon lake is always very hard, and it will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks Tommy and Sherreta for everything.
