Bass fished today from seven till three with a good buddy. We caught about three limits worth of keeper bass although our five biggest were only 16 inchers. Caught keeper bass on C-rig & jig but caught most of the fish on a swim grub once the wind picked up and rain was in the forecast. Caught fish anywhere from 4 to 10 feet. Also, had a keeper walleye, crappie and catfish. Spoke to one old boy who said he had a limit of bass on spinner bait. Said five biggest keepers were 17 inches but only weighed 11 1/2 pounds. Water temp in the low to mid 60s. What more could you want? Mother Stockton was a generous, indeed.

There was a good turn out at the Andrew Sherrill Benefit Tournament today on Stockton, 38 boats. Randy Conlon and Wes Darnell won with over 16 pounds and a big bass over 7lbs. Good job men, and they deserved it. Randy hauled up his tournament weigh-in trailer and preformed a weigh-in of professional quality. It took 14 pounds to get in the $$$. Great prizes were given away including gift certificates, a drill, rods, and a rod & reel combo. Lots of fish were caught and guys had a good time.
