Wow....talk about fun, traveling the back roads of Texas (never lost, just confused) looking for fishing holes on creeks we had to refer to Google Maps, to figure out where we were. Some of those itty bitty bodies of water have some real super sized Sunfish and Bass just waiting for someone to come along and feed them. And of course we were most willing to oblige. (I am surprised Banker didn't mention having a super sized BASS (well over 5 lbs) try to eat his bobber this morning, in a creek about 10 yards wide.)

Thanks Leo and Yesenia for the replies. Leo: Greatest part about fishing other than catching fish is traveling the back roads of and fishing in God's Country! Side Note: No telling where I am going to end up following Rick's directions! Like he said "Never lost,just confused"! Rick: Yes Sir that one was one HUGE BASS! I have had many over the years hit a float! I should also mention Rick almost catching his personal best and highly possible RECORD Rio. He lost it just as he was getting it in!

You guys are living the dream. I love searching google maps and finding new places to fish. I found another one yesterday. I plan on launching my kayak there in a few weeks. The sunfish still haven't moved shallow on the lakes I fish but hopefully they will by the next full moon on April 21st. Great post PS: I see you have taught Rick your game face

Thanks Jamie for the reply! With water bodies being in great shape, as I have been saying it's going to be a GREAT year for catching some BIG FISH! According to Rick the Rio that he lost was HUGE and could have possibly gone into the 12" range.

Nice fish guys! Looks like you are off to a great year! Congratulations on the records and looking forward to seeing a few more. What is your take on the Rio bite this year?

Thanks Gitter for the reply! As for the Rio bite it's going to be a very good one. Myself and friends I fish with have already caught a bunch of nice ones. There will be some BIG ones caught this year for sure.

Thanks Chuck. Hope you guys bust some Rio Records this year.
Side Note: Any chance a 2 pound plus Rio being caught this year?
