One just so happened to by my new PB Smallie. A special thanks to the gentleman in the red ranger close by who let us borrow his scale(the batteries died in mine of course!) Went 5lb4oz. Now the deets. Water temps were 51 main lake. As low as 47 in backs of the creeks. Fished for about 4 hours with a buddy of mine on friday and saturday Fished all around the mid lake area. First hour of fishing friday hooked into this one on a 5in swimbait. Around 20fow on a secondary point with big chunk rock. Took some pics and a quick weight and let her go to help fill the lake with more of her offspring. Also caught a good kentucky and keeper lm from the same area. Then nothing. Saturday we couldn't buy a bite, tried a bunch of different tactics. I think the total lack of wind really hurt.

As far as I know my boss doesn't check the OA forums, but in case he does, I need him to think I was actually sick! Ha jk, Just like to stay semi incognito.

LMAO! Nice fish. And I can respect the face crop.

I called in sick once on a very busy Saturday in order to fish a tournament. I laid it on thick too, tuned up my best sick voice and left the most pathetic message you ever heard on the office answering machine at 5:45am.

Wouldn't ya know we won the blasted thing and it made Monday's paper, grinning hero pictures and all.
