Fun on the River

[Coosa]

About a 2 weeks ago the  brother and I decided to go out on the river and try a little largemouth fishing. We'll we struck out on the largemouth but did manage to get into a couple hybrids .( I think they are hybrids anyway? I'm not real educated on my hybrids, whites, and stripers.)  We only caught 2 but we didn't fish long. So Saturday evening we decided to give it another shot. We left a little earlier this time so we would have more time to fish. Boy did it ever pay off. Both of out 1st 2 casts paid off with 4 fish right at 5lbs each. The action stayed hot till about 20 min b4 dark. We caught about 12 fish each with tons of missed HUGE blow ups. Some of the most exciting fishing I have ever done.. A few of the fish were just to big for our lures as they bent the hooks straight. Man I would have liked to have landed those bigger fish. Most all the ones we caught were between 5 &6 lbs with the biggest going 6 lbs 6oz. Lost a few that had those beat easy.

Ya man,  I was really surprised at how hard they pulled!

Glad to hear a decent hybrid report for the Osage. It has been a few years since I've got in to them up there. I miss it!

Awesome fish.  Is there a lock on the Osage I am not familiar with?

They are an incredible fish. Nothing you read can really prepare you for when they power off. Add high current to the equation, and you get a broken rod. Or at least I did.

They are a real hoot.

Well I guess I will quit with the detailed fishing reports. Sorry guys.
