Took a chance in the weather!!

Took a chance in the weather!! - 12/29/15 03:58 AM

I took a chance and booked a last minute trip today with Josh Priest on Lake Welsh. With the weather we've had i wasn't expecting huge success but I knew fish have to eat! 35 degrees, 20+ winds and cold rain couldnt keep us down.

Dad and I had a stupid good day and ended up boating 40+ fish with close to a 20lb limit. Josh had us on fish practically all day. My pops is from Alaska and doesnt bass fish, he only Ice fishes in the arctic. Dad caught 12 with a 4lb kicker...he was stoked after we left.

If you want a great guide and a great time, I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Josh to anyone!!

---here's a couple nice fish of the day.

Fishing during the front is better than post front. No one is gonna catch a fish for next four days smile

Congrats on following through on the day and having a great one!

He fished a swimbait with it...Josh loaded it up with braid and he did well.
