Awesome night on Lavon +new PB August 19,2014

Met bankfisher73 at the lake and got setup by 8 pm.At 8:30 Dave hauls in a 24#.The exact sequence of events after that are a little cloudy now but sometime later I hooked a monster Blue.We wrestled for several minutes before I could get him moving towards the bank. Dave waded out,tried to get behind him to help push him in but he came up,rolled and snapped my 60# leader.Then Dave brings in a 28# and as he is getting him up to the bank another rod gets pinned all the way over but before he can get to it the 30# mono mainline breaks.A little later I hook and manage to land,with Dave's help,my New PB 50# Blue!Then a crazy thing happened.Dave has another rod go down,he gets a hookup but gets hung on something.Then gets it loose and he starts bringing him in.The fish makes a run for it and snaps Dave's Penn Prevail rod in half,breaks the line and gets away.That's three big fish lost and yeah it sucks!Dave got a 20# and I got a 14#before we packed it in.All fish caught on cut perch.Thanks Dave,it was a fun night and now I'm ready to go after that 60 pounder!
50#

Holy catfish. Nice fish James

Nice job! I went out on Lavon Friday evening and thought the fishing Gods were in my favor. Caught 50-75 nice sized shad in the cast net. Worked the lake over pretty well all night and couldn't buy more than 3 small runs.

Thanks everybody!Hey nax try cut perch.That's what's been working lately.From now thru November perch and carp will be the ticket.Shad will be best December thru February,going by past experience. Good Luck!

Thanks James! If I can get some perch in the net, I will give it a try!

Congrats again PJ on the new PB ! Great fish!
Crazy night of fishing for sure! That area of the lake had
really been producing well for about the last month or so , glad to see
it worked out again .

Im going to pm you id like to join in next time. I can keep super secret spots super secret too!

No secret spots , we was fishing silver platter flats and
the coordinates are 78~380. Look just north of 78 and just south of 380.

Hey now, That's MY spot !

Oops! sorry man, be outta there as soon as the wind/weather
changes......

It's OK, that spot is big enough for all of us!

Nice catchin!
