Put in at Possum Creek at 0715. Wind was howling. Water temp about 74.5F. Fishing was great! The last three weeks have been dismal for me but the wind must have spurred them on. Oh, it was challenging with the wind but soft plastics made for a wonderful morning. We only fished plastics because we were pretty shallow....and the wind. Both Cuz and I caught a bunch albeit mostly small...except for my personal best. In one foot of water a 11.24 lb largemouth! I have never been happier in my life...except for my wedding day! I have never seen a fish that looked soooooo old and freshwater fish (minus catfish) that was so BIG. Thanks to Cuz for being there, my dad that always had time to take me fishing, and the guys at Soddy Custom Tackle who always help me out. I sanity checked the scale when I got home and it was pretty much on the money. I’ll try to upload a picture when figure out how.
