WT 48.0 to 48.7
Weather...light rain... Fog... Overcast.. Highs in the low 50's
Got to the lake friday evening and went out to catch bait. Only able to find dollar bills so loaded the tank with them and got to bed around 11.
Woke up Sat morning and hit a nearby creek where I have been having success lately. Got to the spot I wanted and there was another boat there... I believe this was a forum member as well... Quack was that you?
We pulled that creek and some nearby main channel points and picked up 9 very healthy fish that ranged from 26 to 30 inches.
The most excitement​ came from a 29 inch fish that launched itself completely out of the water while attacking a bait. He missed the bait on the launch but swung back around and inhaled it.
3 of the 9 fish were on downlines/lightlines and all others were on bank side planers.
Went back out to the same area Sun morning. Lots of activity and fish buzzing baits early and no hookups. About 8:00 that changed when we had a light line get slammed and double the rod over. My buddy Doug grabbed the rod and the fight was on. The fish took him completely around the boat until we were finally able to land him. 34 inch fish which was the largest my boat has landed so far but was not a PB for Doug.
We spent a considerable amount of time trying to revive the fish and get it to go back down deep... After many attempts and circling back around we were able to get it released but we tangled just about every rod we had in the process.
Only caught 2 more fish the rest of the morning and called it quits around 11.
2016- one fish caught over 30 inches
2017- already 3 fish over 30 inches :thumbup:
