Nothing over 3lbs...but tons of fun. Still.... better than not fishing. Last edited by Fish2222; 08/25/18 11:02 PM. "I only catch the ones that bite" BassCat Sabre Mercury EFI 175

I tried to force feed em top water most of the day. They didn't like my suggestion. The frog bite was really good till around 8:30 ish. Then I had to go weightless worm fishing too. Man.....did it seem hotter than usual out there today? Or, am I just getting old and tired? I tried buzz baits, swim jigs, c rigs, and Texas. Not a bite on those. Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Nope.....no 10 pounders for me either....I caught 11 I think....I lost 3-4 on a frog in the dark. I'm usually not a shaky head kinda guy, but it worked today. Yes....it was warm.
