Went out with Mike and Ted for a couple of hours this morning. Was a tad chilly but not to to bad. Bout an hour after lines were put in Mike had a run, but after recently respooling, he had his mainline drag to loose and when he set the hook he managed to birdnest a spinning rig, was classic, fish got off.
Mike got this beast next.

I was the next to catch and knew I had something decent as soon as I brought the rod tip up because I hit a brick wall. I don't know how long it took me but it seemed like forever before this monster landed in the net.


It went 56# even, a new waterbody record and PB. We used Ted's certified scales and got all the info to submit!
Mike got the next run, another healthy buff, 32.6#
And last fish of the day went to Ted and he closed the day out with a 43.14# buff.

So all in all a great short session. Fish came on 3 different baits, butterscotch maize, spearmint maize and tres flores tutti boilie.
