The day started off slow,cold,windy,and cloudy but it actually turned out to be a great day the sun came out and so did the fish once I found the right pattern it was lights out the hybrids that were introduced to the lake in 2009 are now undoubtedly thriving for sure! got to put my new johnny morris carbonlite reel and my new kistler rod to the test and boy did they do nothing but impress!! the reel is so light,casts were super smooth and distant,drag was excellent,and was very smooth under pressure of the fish.I was also very impressed with the rod just an awesome setup.

Nice Catch! Good job.

Nice Catch, How many people on the boat?

Thanks! Just 2, me and a friend

Like i said earlier, Nice catch, But with just 2 people on your boat, you might want to read this. Im in no way being a smarta$$, just making sure you know the rules...

Whoops.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you only allowed to keep 5 hybrids legally?

yes. lets not beat up a new to hybrid fisherman for an honest mistake. now he knows the limit....end of discussion.

nice fish, BTW! congrats!

Wasnt instigating anything, just trying save the guy a ticket, if he didnt know. In that picture there is atleast a $500 fine, maybe $750 depending on the 2nd fish from left in top row. That would be a expensive fishing trip

sorry, kerry, didn't mean to sound rude. wasn't trying to be. i just don't wanna see somebody get hollered at on here for a simple mistake.

That show you learn

They were all over 18in! what's your point!?

We both caught our 5 fish limit and they were all 19 or better cause we measured all of em...i'm aware of the rules and regulations what made you think otherwise?

I count at least 12 hybrid....

that one little one in the tailgate is a white bass and the others in the front of that pic look shorter cause of the angle the pics were takin in the back of my truck but all were measured and they were all legal.

Rubee, u know them are just overgrown sand bass. must be some nuclear waste running into that lake....hmmm

5 fish limit X 2 fishermen = 10 total hybrids allowed to be in your truck/tailgate. I count 12. I am not debating the fact they are at least 18".

I'm a bass fisherman that was my first hybrid outing.

Nice report BTW !

what lake is this that you were fishing on

My guess is Cooper..

Nice trip for you Tjustice. But please be careful and read the hunting and fishing guide so next time you won't be stopped by game warden and brought to JUSTICE --LOL Sorry man I couldn't resist.

Great trip for you and glad you were able to get on some good Hybrid fishing. Just be careful next time and pay attention. Also I wish I would have been there to get on some of that good fishing you had on this trip

I know I am getting old and losing my hearing but now I am beginning to wonder about my eyesight. What truck?
