Fishing partner Bill Morris and I each caught 7 bass in the AM, but I also caught a crappie to edge him out for most fish.  My best 5 totalled 10 lb. 8 oz.  Lost the big one though using a sexy shad KVD lipless crank bait, bouncing it on the bottom.  The fish took the crank, circled our boat, swam away from us and then emerged, did a little dance on the top of the water and spit the lure.  Easily 7 or 8 pounds.  Oh well.  That’s why they call it “fishing” instead of “catching.”  Bluebird skies. Air temp was 48 at 6:30am and 75 when we quit at noon.  No wind.  A perfect day at 9G, except for the lost whopper.
