Took a neighbor who is considering joining the club and this turned out to be the best advertisement ever for PWF. Started about 8 on Comanche and things were slow, the spots I know weren't working. The wind was as stout as ive seen it, which may have had an impact.
We moved to the upper lake and I immediately got slammed on a frog. I'll call it about 4 lbs. Had a couple more good sized ones, but then I lost it in the dead forest. We moved to the lower lake after mourning the loss of my faux amphibian.
My friend started catching bass on a blue/white squarebill and never stopped. Every cast brought in a clone of the last one. We were down by the dam/spillway and he just got into a school of 15 to 2.5 lb bass. I started flipping the green fluke in there and they hammered it every other cast. It was shredded and they were still hitting it. If i knew how to set a hook id be dangerous.
I say 20 but frankly lost count. We finally took a break and he let me pitch the squarebill (it was mine and I think he felt bad about burying me) while he tried the fluke. I got one more bass and finished with 2 crappie.
Only downer was I lost a pair of sunglasses in that grove of trees at Comanche. If any PWF member finds them before my wife finds out I lost them there will be a big reward. She's already a bit cranky because she got a trolling motor for Mother's day. I could've sworn I heard her say that's what she wanted.
All in all a windy, hot, perfect day. Who'd a thunk it.

Glad the prospective member had an awesome day!
Considering the female calculus, I’d have to suspect a trolling motor would be better than let’s say, a vacuum cleaner or dishwasher – but in all three cases your gift for father’s day might be the offer to return to sleeping in the bedroom vs on the couch.
