hit the banks yesterday morning at a favorite fishing spot of mine. was at the waters edge at or around 5:30 am eastern time. it was still dark and that is my favorite time to be fishing. didn't catch anything untill it started breaking light, then the first of several keeper fish tugged on my line. It was a 2lb 2oz lm. thought what the heck throw that lure again in the same spot and 3 cast later...WAAM!!!! out goes the 10 lb test and the fight was on. i keep my drag set a little loose because of me losing a good fish by horsing him, and 3 minutes later i reel in a 5 lber( 4 lbs 13 oz) immediatly grabbed the phone for pics, then after fighting with the flash and trying to get a good pic I got a couple that I was happy with. The fish was 22 1/2 inches long and well worth the early trip. all together I landed about 10 fish and all were 15" or better. Looking forward to the September tournament....
