We got to the lake around 9ish Friday mornin and got settled in pretty quick. After a quick bite ta eat, it was off to the races we all went in dif. directions and started throwin plastic "except my nephew Mike who insist on fishin Shiners" I threw a weighted worm "don't have a stroke TC" for a couple hours with not a nibble, so I put on a silver/blue back Yozuri and started trollin around the edges of the channle and to my surprise, I picked up a 16 incher put it back out and a short while later, a 13 incher, back out and another 16 incher by this time it was time for me ta get back to camp and help with fixin supper my nephew Dale and Luke from Advantage picked up 5 or 6 fish with the biggest around 18 or 19 inches, the shiner fishers had 1 fish and the other two boats struck out Saturday was NASTY first thing in the mornin, it started clearing around 10ish and the wind started kickin we all fished hard and I ended the day with a 15 and 16 incher, the shiner boys got 1 fish and I'm not sure what the others brought in Sunday I went back to where I had a REAL nice fish follow a horny toad all the way back to the boat on Saturday and on the first cast of the Rattlin Rouge, I had a 23 incher on and put her in the well for a ride had several more fish make runs on the Rouge, but no more hookups. I think there was a few more Bass caught by the others and the bream fishers finally brought in 4 fish and since my nephew Mike couldn't catch a Bass big enuff ta beat mine he went catfishin and caught a 9 pound cat ta take the big fish pot for the weekend Monday was a couple hours fishin around the resort, first cast with a 5 inch ChugBug at daylight gave me another 16 incher had several more blowups on the ol chug but that was it for the fish. All in all, a fun trip with a great group and I think I only hurt Dales feelings once "well, maybe twice"
Big Bass of the trip

WTG, Stud.

Looks like you got a hair cut on the way, Must have planned on getting your picture taken a lot.

BTW, How were you working that Nat/Lite can when that monster hit it?
