MOsmallies Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Just got back home from a weekend at LOZ. I was hosting 6 other guys for a golf weekend so my buddy and I were only able to fish on Thursday night before the rest of the guys showed up. I hadn't been down since the very beginning of June so my expectations weren't high on being able to locate fish. Somehow we stumbled on to some nice fish! First point we tried I lost a 3-4 lber right away on a magnum shakey head.... Fished a bluff pocket near that point next and my buddy caught a 5.2 on a 10" worm. Moved to a secondary point just inside from the main lake and I caught a 16" that was so thick and fat that it went 3.2 also on a 10" worm. Jumped across the cove to another main lake point. Hooked a big one on the big worm in a 20-25' brush pile. Just kept tension until she swam out of the pile... She rocketed to the surface and jumped before bulldogging under the boat. Finally lipped her and knew she'd challenge my personal best. She went 6.7 and like my 6.6 last spring she was only just over 20"... Fat as can be! We were pumped to say the least by this point. Got a few pics and released her. Next cast, my buddy hooks a 3.8 off the same point. Had I not lost that first fish, we would've had a 21-22 lb limit. The bite slowed down considerably after that with only one more short and a 5.8 flathead that had me really excited for another moment. Didn't catch many numbers, but the size was outstanding! A night I'll never forget! JestersHK, Daryk Campbell Sr, Mitch f and 5 others 8
