We didn't hit a hunert but we were over 90 yesterday... tough bite. They were slamming topwater the day before that in the mornin'. Hope to catch a few tonight, been raining all day!

Amen :)

Abso. Freakin. Lutely. Agree 100%!

Thanks guys - SHE WON! Haha, after a full week of getting skunked, she beat our butts. What a trip! Top 5 fish were a 20", 19", 18" and two 17" smallmouth. All caught between 5 and 12 feet in terms of water depth.

Have a great week!

Agreed. I got a lot more responsible when I had kids... not proud of the way I used to behave, but better late than never... Kudos buddy!

Tablerockbass is straight class. Way to be responsible. I'm sure you were a gentleman... imagine how bad things could have gone for them if it wasn't you driving?

Rock on, brother.

Final update to this thread... mama killed it. Awesome fight, pulled an old EWG out of the mouth of the fish (she broke someone's heart before...) and was released to grow bigger for another angler. Fish was 20" and just under 4 lbs. Absolute unit!

STATUS UPDATE: She got rained on, kept fishing, got really cold, kept fishing. Saw a double rainbow... but we weren't out in crap weather for rainbows, we were out for fishies, gosh dang it. I was starting to sweat it, because if I kept her out through all of that and she DIDN'T catch a fish... it was going to be a very sour experience. Last thing you want to do is ruin fishing for someone else. Bite was slooooooooow... nothing... nothing...

Then right before the sun went down, a couple nice smalljaws got uppity, grabbed her jig and put her drag to the test. It was just SCREAMING... and all was right with the world.

Hope y'all had a great weekend!

It's a good time - thanks, have a great Sunday!

... don't tell the OTHER neighbors... and keep whackin' 'em!

Absolutely - they grow 'em different up here... :)

Absolutely, happy to! So Status Update: the misses did NOT catch a good smallmouth yet. However, me and one of the boys did last night, and he landed his right as his uncle was kayaking by us and he snapped this awesome picture. This is a super cool father/son moment caught on camera... caught one more about 15" as well, pretty fish. Gotta get mama on some smallies tonight if the weather cooperates. Say a wee prayer for big bites for mama...

Have a great day all.

Nice work!

Thanks boys - STATUS UPDATE: caught another 17" smallie this afternoon by the house - I stinkin' love it up here. Get this: 4 pound text Invizx and a Eurotackle Z-Viber. My son spotted the fish, I made a cast from the second story deck and she slurped it. My wife ran downstairs to net the fish. Team effort - hilarious chain of events.

Gotta prep for evening fishin'... fingers crossed!
