i hit 60 MPH on glassy water yesterday. still had a bump of throttle left, and i could have trimmed it up a little more as well. i think she'll top out at just under 65, but i doubt i'll ride there very much. even with the trim pushing the nose down she still feels like she's floating on air. if i trim it up she starts jumping waves, at 50. :hump:

pulled up on some submerged trees this afternoon. shut the outboard down and dropped the trolling motor. made a long, distant cast to the first group of trees. HUGE splash when my 5 ounce lure hit the water. i closed the bail on the reel and reached down and turned on the trolling motor. that's when i felt the tug. "hmm", i thought, "that feels like a fish". i tugged back and the battle was on. she immediately tried to take me down into the trees. i kept the rod tip high and pressure steady. at one point she was wrapped around something but with a gentle pull to the left i got her free. fought her next to the boat for a minute or two before i could get my hand in her mouth. she's not the 12 pounder i was hoping for, but for my "first swimbait fish" i'm not complaining.

now that i've finally caught a fish on this bait i am more confident then ever. i predict the next ones gonna be over 8 pounds. :eyesmoke: :hump:

I never saw this thread. You caught that with the original Gitzit?
How do those things work??
