I pulled up to a mid-lake hump and found Paul and Baxter in a battle to the finish with a monster from the deep.



Baxter is in the back of the boat attending to the housekeeping duties.
We also caught a bazillion sand bass and one legal hybrid here.
Paul caught this one on a #41 from Moe's tackle shop that he modified by adding a treble hook in place of the assist hooks that are standard.

Nice Fish!!!

Very nice fish, what did it weigh? Look at that calm water, wish I was out there.

Didn't weigh it.
It has been dead calm all week.

Not many things are more fun than catching a big flathead on a slab.

Nice fish. Did Steve help him land it?

Fastguy how's the fishing been for ya on good'ole CC? Havent seen any of your CC lake reports lately.

Yum! Thats the best eatin fresh water fish there is! Doesn't matter how big those get either, its all good!

Congrats!

Yalla cat!

The hybrid activity has been spotty at best, caught 10 legal fish Monday, 4 Tuesday and 1 yesterday morning followed by 4 in the afternoon. Today it was all sand bass in the morning with 3 legal hybrids this evening.
They seem to have switched up on me and are hitting chrome slabs, like the #41 from Moe's and a Hopkins clone. I don't like to fish for hybrids with a small slab as I seem to get too many gill hook-ups.

Bet that was a heckuva fight...congrats

Thanks Fastguy you have spolied me with your reports

That's a good lookin kitty!!!!!

Nice work Georgeee, get'n ready to dpt Redmond OR this am. Will be ready for some hybrids next week! Sure could stay in OR a few more days, lots of steelhead in the Deschutes

Looks like dinner.

Nice flatty.
