You will have to believe me that I got a 42 lber, 49 1/2", on a top water plug I make yesterday from the boat in 18' of water. Probably my personal best on a plug now that I think of it. I was trolling T&W and saw a little action on top at daybreak. Only had a glorified fluke set up, not thinking I was going to do any plugging, but it got the job done, got 4 more, all nice, in all on top. Only have a cell camera pic and i have no idea how I would even get it off there considering that was first time I ever used it. Probably didn't even come out. Real nice morning yesterday as I was only one out there for most of morning but over by 8 am as it has been all season in that neck of woods. 3 charter boats took over at that time and I went home. Also got 3 lunkers on T&W too, at dawn. I can't wait to see how many more fish blow into this area after storm passes.

that's great Paul
I'm glad for you congrats

if you email yourself the picture from your phone, then you will have it on your computer to see. It shouldn't be that hard to do, just look thru the menus

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I believe you Professa, even if everyone else does not...

I got a 32# fish in July on one of my Musso style swimmers, but had no camera with me. Fortunately TO and Afterhours were beside me as I hung the fish on AH's boga, then let her go. Was really cool and helped justify the 3K (and growing) I invested.
