After being skunked for almost 14 consecutive fishing derbies, Elcombe decided to spend a day in solitude on Kentucky Lake near Merritt to break his dreaded curse. As we all know, only two things really get the Kirbmeister upset…missing out on a fishing trip and not catching fish on a fishing trip. Fortunately for Elcombe, the stars lined up, the weather was great, there were no equipment malfunctions and his dynamite was obviously working because he managed to land up to twenty rainbows using green and black leeches. Nicely done Elcombe.
Kentucky Lake in June. Looking more like a tropical destination. Some have been speculating that perhaps the fact the Kirby’s heavy use of sunscreen…aka Powder, could be the reason why he had so much success on this day.
