Saturday fishing report

[WatterBoy]

After my best outing of the year at our cabin on Friday when I caught 19 fish, with my best 5 bass going 15lb 2oz, I had an even better morning on Saturday. Only 15 fish this time, but my top 5 bass weighed 16lb 12oz, led by the 4lb 1oz, 18" and 3lb 11oz, 17.5" LM pictured here:



The others that rounded out my total were 3-9, 2-12 and 2-11. All but the 2-12 came on a watermelon red zoom speed worm, and the 2-12 was one of 3 bass I caught on a 3" brown Koppers hollow body field mouse. We were only out for 2.5 hours and my buddy, Jeff, struggled to get numbers or size, so I felt fortunate to have my best trip of the year.

Kaye and I went out for two quick trips later in the day and she outfished me, 13-10. She really took it to me in the evening excursion with this Smallmouth, a new PB for her(!), that was 18.5" long and weighed 4lb 3oz.



Fifteen minutes later, still using her old reliable dropshot with a 5" wacky-rigged senko, she pulled in another nice Smallie. This one was 3lb 12oz, 18.0" and looked like it had been eating everything in sight!



It was truly another phenomenal day of fishing, and it was enhanced again by the spectacular colors around the lake...
