Kiss of Death

[jglassguy]

So,
I've been waiting out the wind all day, its been 20 mph with gust near 28 mph
I keep checking the weather channel as I am painting the living room ceiling (to kill time)
finally about 6 tonight it is still blowing 17 mph but thats OK in my book...almost perfect except a puny cold front has hit oHIo.
So I get all my gear in the boat, get ready to launch and see a foot of water in the back, I get that out no sweat, make my first cast , tonights lure of choice, the Flat A by bomber, tennesse shad...Throw up to the dam and BOOM I get hit...its a f/n monster bluegill full of egg or sperm, might have been a male,
So here I am thinking, man tonights the night, big bass here I come,
I plug along and get out another rod that has a chrome and blue rapala and throw that, but by now I am about 100 yards off the dam, and I feel the "tick" swing back and can see I have a nice fish..Finally I am thinking, it looks about 17-18 inches and fiesty as hell.
I play it out and get ready to swing it in the boat, and about crap, its a huge crappie (felt like it was on steroids)
So I am still pumped thinking bass would hit, I grab another pole with the Spook, its been working for me, had a nice one swirl near the boat, but missed him, then
end up with 2 dinks for the rest of the nite, pulled out the trusty Pop R and got one decent one, but not as big as that crappie.....lol
So I guess my pt is that whenever I get bit first cast, it usually jinxs the rest of the night...
