Thumbs up It doesn,t get any better

I was charged up to post today but Bill & Iron Mike gotthe cake We,ll anyway -I went fishing today!!!!!!!!!
didn,t even leave til 10;30 am to catch the drop----- super high tide, ran around the corner where I hit 10 fish Sunday evening ,,,after a few cast ,no hits I split=- travel this time of the year I round a bend ,and the birds are working, only other person there is a kid on a skiDoo and hes fishing ,no racing ,jusy slowly moving,then standing on the back ,hes catching and releasing
I cast on i,m on ,a nice fat 6lb schoolie,I say away from the birds and work the shoreline & rockpiles
cast again ,6lb Blue,cast again ,wam --20-30 minute fight 36' blue by far the largest I,ve caught in the bay in a while
Now I,m thinking blues,the bass was a mistake, for the rest of the day bass,BAss,BAss-----------all nice bay plugging fish ,nothing under 6LBs not as much Bait some bait trying to hide on the shoreline <><>< they wanted it on top ,tried going leadhead,bucktail to what I thougt would be quicker action & release,wrong ----- caught a few that way but no way compared to the topwaters
If I made 100 casts --I had 90 casts with either fish on or muti hits,
Caught a 26" fish with a tag[someone else reported earlier]the fish had open soars around the tag plus she was carrying mung, by know the kid has left -he must of had a commitment--- I did too and no phone number to call him and try and change times , I couldn,t blow him off even thou I felt it was a wasted appointment, I wish people thought the same for me///// WE,ll I knew my time was getting short,my wife called to see where I was,SHE knew I had that appointment
all fish caught in1to 5 feet of water/
Now the bigger fish are around I maove to a rip that pulls me south,casting to the shore I catch 5 straight keepers.3 between 12 & 15 lbs
NOW , I cast again Bamb#### I,m on and I can,t slow her down !!!!!!!!! But I can chase her so off we go up ,around and thru a bolder field, this is a big fish for the gear that I use,matter of fact most of these fish ,gave it a testing
after about 20 minutes she rises, just so I can see that its a bass, no thrashing just showing off , ---and off we go again I,ve gained some line but shes still way out ////
She comes up again but this time closer shes all of 30lbs==== on thrashing or twisting she slowly opens her mouth and out comes the plug, [Chit]would have been the biggest fish I,ve caught on a plug/ and extra special being in the bay------
Time to leave and I left the fish still there,not a soul around
I,ve on the water 45 years and commercially caught more & much larger fish
But for me this was hte day you dream of

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!

MIKE
