Was a great day for fishing! Too bad the fish didn&#39;t think so. Started out up river at the BB Comer bridge fishing some structure around the bridge. I pull in a Short off a pylon. Then nothing so we head across the channel to some old Lilly pads on a flat. Ton of boats in the area but no fish. At least not for us. Decided to head back down river and pound a clay bank with docks next to deep water and nadda. So we figured let&#39;s go back into goose pond. Started to fish some submerged what I&#39;m guessing was duck weed with some green to it. Pass around a boat fishing a local tx. We were commiserating with them about the lack of keepers then wham I pull in a 2.5 lber where they just were. I don&#39;t think they liked all of the whooping and hollering I was doing while I landed their bass. Then in the same spot I hear a splash and watch a monster obliterate my bait then begins to pull off drag like crazy... I set the hook and he bows over my rod and too keep him from diving deep into the weeds I am trying to thumb my spool and turn his head and thats when my hook pulls free. I about threw my rod into the water. <br /><br />With about an hour left we decide to head back into rose bury .Thats when Carl hooks up and pulls in a beautifully fat 5lber off a clay bank in 3 fow. <br /><br />We ended up with 2 fish at 7.43lbs. Don&#39;t know what place we finished at. Had a ton of fun though and thanks for fishing with me Carl!
