Headed to the lake yesterday and my wife tagged along to get some sun. Headed to the Dam, but it was packed out with several CFF'ers (Pete and Leonard) among others. Decided to go to the river. Put in and headed a ways down river to first spot. On third cast hooked best fish of the day, but made the mistake of being lazy and tried to flip a 4+ largemouth into the boat. She came unbuttoned and away she swam. Quickly caught three more before hooking up on a 3.8 and getting her in the boat. Caught another one that hit 3.9 after catching 11 more, five of which were 14+ spots on a deep diving crankbait. Throwing the crankbait, looked up to see Jacob Wheeler speeding towards us in the Academy Sports boat. He waved and kept going as we continued to fish for another half an hour. Ended the day with 16 fish landed, 7 on a crankbait and 9 on soft plastics. Concentrated on shade and laydowns to find the best fish.
