Chouteau Claim Access - Greate day for Poor Conditions

[BassMaster#1]

A buddy and I decided to do a little fishing before the storm came in this morning.  This is the first time I have every been in a jet boat so I was all over it.  We but in at Chouteau Claim Access and decided to fish a few wintering holes. Needless to say, the wind was bad and rain didn't help, but the fishing was good for the conditions.  We spent the few hours we had in one wintering hole.  We boated 14fish out of this hole and lost a few on the way.   My buddy caught the biggest two, one weighing 3lb and the other weighing 2.5lb.  Out of the 14 fish 5 were over a 1.5lbs with two small spots.  They all had big belly's but I haven't seen a belly like what was on his 2.5lber.  He was 15" but it looked like it had just finished eaten a buffet.  The 3lb was caught as soon as the rain started to poor.  All fish were caught on plastics, tubes at the beginning and end of the deep bluff walls.  Not HOG Wally pics, but still a good day for bad weather this morning.  Looking forward to hit the water more now that my buddy has a jet boat.

The tube bite is going very well right now. Those are all great fish. Hog would appreciate all of them! They're getting fat in the week give or take before the spawn. Good report and pics man those are definitely some chunkers.

The kayak and pond powerless are nice but nothing compared to a jet...waiting for my other buddy moguy1973 to get his new bass boat ready...

I like that bluff    I only recently started bass fishing again. Some guys on this forum stirred me up and I've gotten back to my roots on the meramec. Those are awesome fish to me any day of the week !! The other day I thought I was gonna be humbled then I stumbled on a mess of fish and the big ones have to eat the Mitch craw so I got lucky again.  Not to steal your thunder but here's one of mine from today.
