Much to my dismay our annual trip to Disney did not reproduce last year's 12.1 pound MONSTER that Toby caught. Just for good measure, let's see her again
The first day was promising. We caught 20+ between the 4 of us (I caught 9, the most by far...for the record) and Todd caught a very nice 6lber that went 22".
Kughn also caught this very nice 4lber off the dock in front of the bar, with many onlookers OHHing and AHHing
The next night I caught 11, including this very nice 4lber right in the same spot Toby caught the 12lber last year.
Then, the bite died off. We fished every night, worked our tails off to only catch a few a peice. But hey, at least we were wetting a line while it was cold and crappy in Ohio.
However, we did experience a 1st...A 4 foot Gator was trolling for dinner and Kughn, being the redneck from Zanesville that he is, decided it would be a good idea to try to hook up and land the gator. After failing to get a hookset several times on a worm he switched to a topwater. the moment the torpedo hit the water the Gator went into "Kill Mode." Nothing mattered to him besides eating the bait. Well, Mr. Gator didn't anticipate there being a guy from Zanesville trying to catch his ass.
The gator ate the topwater and Kughn let him have it for a while before BLASTING it with an earth shattering hook set. GATOR ON!!! He fought it for nearly 20 minutes trying to land it by grabbing its tail. Eventually after hundreds of death rolls the gator managed to spit out the topwater bait. A damn good fight, and a damn good story as only Jim Kughn can produce
