Put in at CFP and took the ride over to HBSP..... Took off at 7 up river to our first spot fishing a ledge. Caught 15 fish off of this spot with 5 keepers in the boat within 1 hour so the next 6 hours we were trying to upgrade.<br /><br />Caught 2 three lbers on that first spot all of texas rigged worms<br />One of which needed fizzed..... fizzed him the best i could and it did not help too much.... he ended up dying out on us about 1 hour later so we had to downgrade at this point.<br /><br />He was only caught in 10 FOW so i dont know if the swim bladder had anything to do with it or not.<br /><br />At dark the bite stopped on this spot and we had keepers now with 9.0 lbs or so<br /><br />Took off back down river outside CFP and got swallowed by the willowflys and couldnt get any takers so moved once again down river further.<br /><br />Boated a keeper and a few slicks on this spot that was in 5 FOW the keeper upgraded us alittle bit but not much<br /><br />Moved over to HBSP and boated on keeper that upgraded slightly again in 12 FOW<br /><br />Didnt have alot going on so we had 1.5 hrs left so we moved to our last spot to see what we could do....<br /><br />Started boating fish but all slicks.... Finally under some willow fly hatches we boated a solid 3 lber and stuck him in the livewell and my very next cast had another fish on that was everybit of 4 - 4.5 lbs...... Got him to the boat and he dove straight down....SNNNAAAPPP!!!!<br /><br />3 Cast later had another 3 lber come off at the boat with a jump.....<br /> I had forgotten to loosen the drag after breaking my line on a hang up a few mins earlier.....<br /><br />by this time it was time for weigh in so we headed in....<br /><br />We eneded up with 5 fish for a weight of 11.99 lbs<br /><br />if the one fish didnt die on us we would have had about 13.5 lbs <br /><br /> i dont even wanna get into the 4 lber that broke off and the other 3 lber that jumped off....emoBang <br /><br />But hey thats why its so fun.....<br /><br />we boated about 30 fish tonight all Largemouth and all caught on Texas rigged worms on ledges, humps and shallow bank water
