discovery
so the lakes been very high at full pool the last couple of weeks, although they are slowly draining it. and there is trash floating everywhere! i mean tons of it so much it would take several days and 10 yard bins to haul it all away. i try to do my part by picking up small bits of flotsam and jetsam but its a bandaid on a jugular.the homeless people just throw most of their stuff down into the lake, the rains wash a lot of clutter in from the streets. and the sad thing is the people that live along the lake just chuck whatever they don't want to haul away down into it too. hell last week i hauled in a 6'10" john carper surfboard its a peter mel machine. little beat up not to bad some patches and 3 fins and it is ready to surf, kinda a ugly design on it but hell surfboards these days run several hundred $ even used! then this past outing i find a rubber made tub with a big ole hole in it and start filling it up with all sorts of trash as i fish along and i find this unique looking crankbait. it was just floating there all black with algae and hooks rusted off. scooped it up threw it on the bottom of the boat and kept fishing. today i was cleaning up the boat and i found it sitting there almost forgotten. got some goo begone on it and cleaned it up took off the rusted split rings put some new red hooks on it and wow its pretty nice looking! its got these weird water vents in it and says 7th anniversary korea megabass on the top. its a green baby bass color and its got a chartreuse bottom. so i go online and research it. damn thing is a 26$ crankbait!! megabass is a japanese company that makes very high end baits. its a cyclone mr 7 and i guess they are hard to come by. damn if i had hung that lure up id have been diving for it!!! lol thats some serious tears for one bait!! all the more reason i carry a lure retriever. i had a few seconds of maybe i should post it so it can be reclaimed but then the devil on my shoulder was all like hmmmmmm lets see how it fishes first hahaha hell will it out do a 6$ strike king curious minds want to know!
