Today being my 81st birthday, Richard decided to take me fishing.
The water temp was 75 at 6:45 am when we launched and was 83.8 at 1:30 when we came into dock.
Fishing started out slow, nothing for the first hour then Richard went on a rampage and caught 3 in 30 minutes. I was still sitting there waiting for something to find my line.
Finally at 8:30 I lucked out with a big one, it was all I could do to land it as he didn't want to come in. It was 30 inches and a big fat dude, didn't weigh him but it would probably have gone 14 lbs. easy.
We were hoping to get some eaters today but we both caught big ones from 25.5, Two 29", 28", Two 27", and three 26.5". Richard caught 8, and I caught 4. He out fished me in numbers, but I got the biggest one. HE HE HE.
We had a wonderful day with the exception of Richard forgot to put the plug in for the second time in a row, no harm done just a good laugh.
The water seemed to be much shallower than it has been, we had to go out quite a ways to reach 5 ft. We actually caught most of our fish in 2 fow, trying to get to 5 ".
We're going again tomorrow to take a granddaughter out with us. hope we can find the fish again.

Richard said say cheese for the camera. This is the biggest fish grin I've ever seen.
