Great Day

Nothing like quantity and quality. The quantity I expected, but some fresh fish slow to move south or just stopping by for a rest and feed, made this morning one to remember. An easy 75 fish day, but the ten or more over 24" and two keepers, made for a lot of fun on freshwater bass gear. When your catching them in 2 feet of water it's even better, the fight is that more more intense.

The first keeper of the day actually broke me off and damn near broke my rod to boot. Hit near the boat and then ran right under the bow putting my rod right on the gunnel, around the trolling motor and gone. I had another one later almost come out of the water to grab my split tail and I had to do some dancing to not break that one off on such a short line.

Drew and I had a blast, hope to repeat again, hopefully they will hang in for a time. Here are a couple we brought home for the grille.
