monday my brother decided to go with me for the first time all year... i didnt get off work til 7 so he figured he might could make it up that early. we got things started chunking a worm... in 7ft of water.. we quickly boated a 5.50lber then it slowed down for the next hour. he decided that we needed quanity instead of quality..so we got out a spinnerbait and crankbait and caught schoolers that went from 12&quot; to 3lbs for the next 3 hours.. we caught 50 or so before trying our hand at a better fish..... we never caught any big ones but did manage a few more in three lb range.... best 5 today 18lbs<br /><br />tuesday went searching for topwater bite.... found them after the third stop... mostly good solid keepers we did have a couple really nice fish on but they came unbuttoned... we then switched gears and went deep looking for some bigger fish... jw catches a 4plus on the first cast and we both had that look on our face like it was going to get ugly quick... not another bite for 20 minutes til jw hooks up with a 6lber.. and then another good fish... we tried to be under the radar and get them back in the water without bringing to much attention to ourselves from the surrounding boats... so no pics.. later i caught a 6lber of my own.. we moved and no luck at the next two stops.. flipped a jig for a while without much luck... then went back to check a couple of more new deep spots... just before leaving jw catches a monster... and i caught another decent 4lber. most of the deep fish were in 18plus ft deep. on a jig. best 5 today 27lbs<br /><br />heres a pic of johnnys 7.50lber
