Hit the water at 6:00 and headed for a point not far from the ramp. Started throwing top water buzzbaits and sencos. switched to a sammy and started to get hits. We had five fish in 20 mins. I saw a 16" hit my sammy and thought finally I have a fish worth entering into the BFT contest. As it was breaking water and Bob yelling you still have it on, I didn't feel any preasure on the rod. The clip had come undone and as I reeled my line in it was thrashing on the top of the water with my Sammy.[unsure] By the time we used the trolling motor to try and net it, it was gone. By 8:30 the bite had stopped. Tried everything and as a last stop we went to a wind blown point and I tied on a caralina rig with a small watermelon lizard and slow cranked it by the weed line. 11 smallies in an hour and redeemed myself with a 15 1/2" smallie. Ended the day with the boat getting 17 smallies, 3 lgmouth and 2 rockbass on sencos. Great day for fishing.
