I was supposed to meet TinCan at the LH this morning and we were going to fish together but separately in 2 boats. Well I got there before daylight and he was already gone.

By the time I reached the pre-determined redfishing hole, he had done caught 'em all and let all the water out of the pond.

So I spent the rest of the day catching trout and looking for reds on the flats. Lucked into 2 reds but saw probably 15. Had a few more hooked but they came unglued.

Managed to put 12 trout in the boat, all 19"ers. I suspect it was the same fish 12 times since I was thowing them back.

Caught 'em all on a certain topwater bait. Beautiful day out there today. Can't wait til next time.

That new wide screen TV you installed takes up half the photo!

Nice day on the pond.

Maybe you should do a Wevans and make believe you are a bass fisherman.

...seemed like a "fisherman's tale" to me. If I wasn't catchin' bass b/c I was too busy catchin' reds then...

Sounds like y'all have the bigger trout to east of us, mind sharing?
