View Full Version : DUCT - KPN Strikes again !!!!!

hit the duct this afternoon with Kahn...

Khan administered a blindfolded ride over to a spot...

Once the blindfold was removed, we hit our 1st spot about 5:30 or so...

no love...

so off to another spot....
THEN...
We got those suckas craving a taste of the KPN STEEL !

The KPN Skinny Shad was on the menu this evening...

Slam....fish on !!!!

Nice and solid7-8 lbder...

a while after....Whamo.....another....sweet big fat feesh !!!

Then about 30 minutes after, I get on another....a HUGE toad.....!

It busted me off on 15 lb seaguar !...Damn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

another 20 minutes ar so....another hookup but it shakes free..Damn x 2

We both sat down and had one of Khahns patented pork sandwiches......

THEN....
I cast out to the other side of the duct...slow roll till my lure was in the middle where it's deeper...I let it sink back down to the bottom....through the slack line...I could feel a rap on the line....

I aint fallin for that ol trick, I know that too well from Largemouth fishing so I drive on 'em....!

IT'S ON !!!!

POWERFULL Drag peeling runs had me already knowing this was at least a double.....and so it was...woo-hoo !

I needed a double...it's been a little while since my last and I was overdue...

The toad hits the deck and I have a nice satisfied buzz going on !!!!

KPN's lure was the ticket, I don't think I'll fish anything else there..

This was my 3rd trip to the duct and I've hooked up each time on it but the other 2 times the fish either broke me off or shook off !

It feels nice to break my duct cherrry and land some 'em.....and some nice fat pigs..

I ended up landing 3 and lost 2 (1 broke off)
Kahn got struck twice but unfortunately didnt hookup on those strikes..

Thanks for making a great toad getter Khahn..

Gary

Sorry about these photos people, this is the best I can do right now, I had to use some funky tools on the pc that stitch the photos together to reduce the file size...

I'll have to do the photos as a photobucket when I return to work tuesday...at least I got somethin to upload...

Heres a real PIG !

sorry guys, I do have pics but I cannot upload them from this POS computer...normally I use my work PC, this dial up is jacked...cannot upload them as attachments cause thier too big and I cannot size them cuase it doesn't have the right tools..

Photobucket wont work either...

I'll try again but I tried sending Kahn them on e-mail but 4 photos took 45 minutes to upload to the e-mail and it still didnt get through to him

I know of 4 spots with that handicap access fence in the AV. Let's play let's guess which one it is? :Smile: The fairly fresh/not too digested shad in the gut narrows it down for me. I know of only one spot that has the fence and also has a shad hideout. It is also known to produce multiple fish.
