Charles River Boat Ramp

Around 1AM, went out for a little bit on a windy night. Got skunked at a couple of ponds as it was hard to cast with the heavy winds. So, I came to this spot as in the past during windy conditions, I've managed to pull some from here. A couple little largemouths, and a 17" smallie. Great fight. Caught on black, jointed jitterbug, fishing against the open current on a miscast. It hit once and missed. I stopped for a couple of seconds. Then I started up again and it hit twice as hard and I nailed it. Fought so hard that when I got it up onto the bank, I had it caught by the mouth and by a piece of its tail!
