Played hookey from work as the kids are in camp and the wife is teaching at a conference this week.  Nothing on the calendar after 12, so off to Double A I went for a few hours of fishing

1. Arrived around 1 and fished till 5ish. 
2. Water was around 88-90 based on feel, good wind at 12-15mph, clear water to 6ft or so, and a screaming sun;
3. Fish would bite anything as long as it was a red bug 10 inch worm, which I ran out due to the aggressive smaller fish eating the tails off; 
4. No electronics today so I stayed on the weedline for the most part which is more sparse than in times past when I’ve fished this lake.
5. A frog might have done some work but I didn’t have one on me as most of my tackle is on the big boat right now. 
6. I threw at busting fish in schools, but they ignored my pseudo shad type lure offerings.  When they regrouped around nearby points with pond weed, they could be had with the plastic. 
7. My biggest fish of the day is also my largest of the year, topping just barely the fish I caught with Scott Wheeler in the boat back in June.  I was really worried about breaking her jaw while trying to hold her up so I had to prop her up on my knee.  Safely returned for the next.  I wanted a picture of her belly from the side but there was no way I could pull it off without risking injury to her or myself. 
8. I jokingly texted someone “so do I just leave now? Not sure I can top that”
9. But, I caught one more really good fish, long but somewhat skinny right at 5lbs 2ozs – both were had on the Northeast end of the lake around, but not in brushpiles. 
10. Several 1-3’s and a few from last years spawn. 
11. For both of the larger fish, I had to lean down to scratch my leg or adjust the trolling motor for a second, so the trick may have been to let it sit after casting on semi-slack line once it hit the water. 
12. I’m taking my big boat out here with electronics and active target at some point soon so I can go full cheat mode and find a verified 10lb+ which I’m guessing exists at this point in this younger lake.  
13. As always, thank you to Joe and PWF for making a Monday like this possible!
14. Side note, I am really very much not a fan of the big bladed chatterbait while being a chatterbait fan overall. 
15. Pictures attached are good representation of the classes of fish caught and the two bigs.
