I haven't fished much lately because of work and a little bit of hunting but 
decided 10/30 to fish during lunch and a lake just down the road from my 
work. The ole gal hit right away but missed the rogue and after several more 
casts I moved down the bank for about 15 mins to let that spot rest. I then 
returned and on the second cast she slammed the rogue and the fight was on!.. 
No, not really I just cranked her in. She was a very old gal that may have went 
2 -3 lbs heavier in her day but her back half was thin and her tail almost gone 
from years of bedding. She didn't have much fight left in her. She may not make 
it till next year. I took a few pic and then held her in the water for a few 
mins and she took off!...there is a little blood on her gill but she had stopped 
bleeding by the time she took off, ..luv the rogue. my second big bass bait.
