| Went to see GLodden (Grant) in Minneapolis this past weekend to do some fishing, he goes to Grad School at the U of M. We hit the water about 8:30 friday night and I stuck a 39"...Hit the water on Saturday morning and raised freaking cow within 20 minutes....went a little further and I stuck a 45" x 20"...went for about another hour and GLodden stuck a 40" x 18" right before the rain of biblical proportions kicked us off the water...fished a little that night with no success...then came sunday... Sunday morning brought high skies with a blusterly northwest wind...we figured fishing was going to be tough but we went back to were we raised the cow the previous day hoping she might be active again...she wasn't there but we did manage to see a 30" class fish cursing the weeds...from here we decided to troll our big baits...GLodden put on hit Little Wish and I put on a 10" Franky...were trolling along and notice a couple huge arc's on the depthfinder...about 2 seconds later my rod is nearly ripped from my hands...so I set the hook and feel what I believe to be massive head shakes...so a chinese fire drill ensues...as I start reeling something just doesn't seem right but it still feels like a massive fish staying way down and head shaking...my drag goes out a bit then I gain ground, then drag, then gain ground...so we get right over the "fish" and I pull up and it goes right back down, pull up right back down...this goes on for a couple minutes...with no progress...by this time we have figured out it is not a fish but we have no idea what...So I am using a 4 foot wishmaster leader and I finally reel up to the end of this leader...so I grabbed it and pulled up only to find a rope wrapped around my Franky Bait...and about 15 feet below where my lure is attached to the rope is a 20 pound anchor...we figured the "head shakes" were probably this anchor dragging and catching on the bottom...what a thrill it was for a minute or two...but the day continued and I missed another fish in the low 30" class and we called it a day...all in all a great weekend and definetly a fun time...I would like to thank Grant and his girlfriend for letting me stay with them and thank Grant for putting us on fish...I'll be back the first weekend in november for some sucker fishing...
