<br /> What a day! Cold, windy and some snow. <br /> Flip and I got to Scottsboro this morning good and early for some fresh biscuits and a little shopping at the tackle store. We hit the water a little later than what we wanted but man oh an..those biscuits were worth the wait! <br /> Flip started off with a nice 3.5 or 7 (can&#39;t recall the size) and managed another alittle smaller I think....You guys are thinking to yourselves &quot;Geee BBass, can&#39;t you remember what you caught&quot; Well your right and heres why....<br /> My very first time on this lake and my first fish from it went 7.5! Man what a fight! This is a personal best for me and I&#39;m still smiling! What a way to meet a new piece of water. <br /> We fished for some time where we were then move on down a ways. No fish there so we decided to head back into where we got our morning fish. There I managed a 4.5 <br /> 18 something pounds (???) with 4 keepers. Not bad. Never could get that 5th fish on. <br /> As for the area and bait....I can&#39;t tell  Not with a Tx coming up on the 3rd..LOL Flip said we got them all on Rooster Tails and Hulla Poppers <br /> I had a great time and will definitely be back. ALL fish were released but measurements were made for a mount on my wall. I can&#39;t resist it. At 36 yrs old and this being my best so far, I have to have a trophy.<br /> (Flip, can you clear up the weights for me please)<br /><br /><br /><br />
