Went out to Skinner today by myself this time and did really well. Went to my new honey hole that we now call 3Lb Bay. Stayed there all morning until one last stop before going in and got one more there. I think my top 5 were around 20 lbs. Most of the others were in the 2.4-2.6 range so didn't post those pics. Got a new fish scale and do not care for it as it has a hook instead of a grip, so it is going back. Will let the pics tell the story.
Da Skunk Buster, nice little 2.86Lbs
Little bigger , 4.86 lb
Next was smaller, 3.1 lbs
Now we are talking, Big fish of the day 5.34lbs
Think this one was 2.76 lbs. they were coming pretty fast

Awesome day Garey! Those are beautiful chunks my friend, I'm sooooo jealous.
You deserved a day like that with all the water troubles at the beginning of the season. If you like everything else about your scale, just change out the hook for a 6"Rapala fish gripper. That's what I put on mine and it works very well. They run from $8.99-$13.99 online.
PS:Thanks for the pictures brother.

Great day at your local fishing hole!! You killed it. Got my cataracts checked Monday and got some numbers$$$$$$$ waiting from to hear from my eyeglass doctors call to get some clarification on the charges. I thought my Medicare and blue shield would pay for everything other than the best lens upgrade. That alone would be $9080 on top of the basic charges at around $14290 I think. , I don’t have a copay on anything and no deductible. Hopefully I’m not reading it right.

Nice report and photo spread! Those are some real dandy bass! I like Fredfish's idea about modifying your scale. I have a separate jaw grabber with a small loop on the handle so I can use my regular scale with a hook for the loop and it seems to handle decent when sitting low in my kayak. I do think it is gentler on fish that are intended for C & R.
Good luck on whatever you change or adapt to and thank you for the post!

Thanks Fred turned out to be my most fun and productive day so far. The scale is made by KastKing and cost $19.95, their next model up with the grip is only $24.95 so I am just going to get that for the extra $5.
