The Holy Grail

Norm was back again today for another shot at a five pounder. Would this be the day that he finally scores it! The weather was a beautiful, crisp fall day with no wind and complete sunshine throughout. Air temps started out just around freezing and rose into the 50’s by days end. The water temps were around 58.5 degrees and almost made it up to 59 degrees during the day. Norm started out strong with the first fish weighing in at 4 ½ pounds. He had several others slightly smaller in this area before we relocated to another spot looking for that elusive five. Pretty much everywhere we hit held fish, but nothing was really close to his targeted goal and we kept looking. It didn’t really matter if we fished shallow or deep, but all we could come up with was those 3 & 4 pounders. I hate it when you only catch tiny fish! The action was constant with fish coming in every place we fished, but still no trophy. By the time we were ready to call it quits, Norm still hadn’t found his “Holy Grail” and had to settle for a great day instead. Plenty of quality sized bass were landed today, but he still needs to get that one fish he can call an honest five! Oh well, there’s always next time!!
