Ending the fishing year on a high note

[WatterBoy]

In what might very well have been our last two fishing outings of 2013, Kaye put a whoopin' on me both times...not so much in numbers (she beat me 6-4 and 9-8), but definitely in size of fish. The best I could do yesterday evening was a 2lb 4oz Largemouth, but she logged a pair of LM bigger than that at 2lb 13oz & 2lb 12oz. That was just a warm-up for this morning, however. We spent 3 hours on the water, and my best fish, a 2lb 12oz Largemouth, came on my very last cast. That didn't even crack the top 3 on Kaye's list, though! She set an all-time record for her best 5-bass weight in one outing with a hefty 16lb 4oz total. That was anchored by two really nice Smallmouth that came 45 minutes apart. The first one was 17.25" in length and weighed 3lb 4oz, and the second one was her new personal best Smallie at 4lb 5oz, 19"! She also landed some nice Largemouth as well, with five of them over 2 pounds, and the best three weighing in at 2lb 14oz, 2lb 11oz and 2lb 8oz. We had hoped to fish some more before heading home tomorrow evening, but it rained almost all afternoon and evening today, and there is quite a bit of rain in the forecast for tomorrow, so we may have fished for the final time this year. What a GREAT way to close out the year if that is the case!
