Got out early @ 6:30, No topwater action at all. No interest at all for frogs of any type. Finally went to lizards (two types)

I can lift most 3-lbers into the boat w/ the rod. Fact is, I had to use my landing net 9 times today to get my fish into the boat . Not a lot of bites today, but were all well worth the wait. My smallest,fish was a 4lber.(not counting

one dink). Largest was New Personal Best, A 10.4 LBER! . This bite came on a mis-cast witch was cast into open water,

so I started reeling it in quickly when it hit a brick wall. Fought like the big fish it was, then almost broke my landing net

as I tried to lift her into the boat ! When I measured her she was a fin short of 24". Sorry the Pic.s aren't very good,

but she wouldn't stop moving ! And yes, the seat was wet ! After releasing her none the worse for wear, I couldn't

focus on fishing for anything , so I called it a day @ 11:30. I mean, how do you top a NPB ? Not to mention the other

8 I caught from 4lbs. to 7lbs.. I'll take a "slow day" like this any given morning!
