Aaahhh! The highs and lows of terminal lake trout addiction. From hero to zero. Love 'em and hate 'em. We are not sane.
I must say though that Don has one of the most severe cases of Mack Fever I've ever seen or treated. The disease is out of control. He's a true, sick, lake trout massocist. He'll continue mack fishing just to endure the pain, torture, and frustration. He'll spend fortunes on gear, and devote countless hours, over and over again, for that one moment of glory. There's no cure, only treatment. All for that small glimmer of hope of catching another big one, only to let it go so it can once again taunt him.
He will drop his jig repeatedly, each time hoping that, "this is the one," only to be shunned by the fish or beat by it's speed and intelligence. Yes, he has all the symptoms, bad!
Don: I did enjoy our time out there, as always. Maybe you need a day on some 4 pounders to get back in the swing of things. The Mack God's aren't going to let anyone get on too much of a roll. The last two days must have been a "market correction" from last month.
See you at Blue Mesa and Turquoise!
