Dakota Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I went out to the trout lake yesterday after work and, after switching a couple flies, managed to hook a tiny (I'm talking 2") largemouth bass that was twice the size of the fly it bit on! It was hilariously funny and still counts as my first catch on the flyrod. Didn't have a camera with me but it was pretty cool. Didn't do much fishing after that because I suddenly had a horendous headache slam me and I became weak, clammy and sweaty. I actually couldn't even drive so I packed everything in my truck and called my parents and they came to pick me up and drive back my truck. Went into the emergency room just in case this was heart related with everything that's been going on in the past month but they just said I had overdone it...you (and myself even) have to realize that I'm still on the mend from the surgeries last month and still don't know when I'm going to have to have my heart transplant. Anyways...after 2 hours I went from wilted to bright and blooming! So I'm doing a lot better now. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
