I was fishing three to five days a week from late 2007 thru 2011 and I tell folks about the way it was in that period and they look at me like I'm crazy.. And honestly, if I did not catch a ten at least every two weeks or so I thought I'd lost my Mojo.. The guides would come in and we'd ask how it went that day and they'd say, "Well we had four or five sevens, two eights and a 9-12, but no big fish..." WTF? Remember those times well . Lots of great fish caught during that time frame. My best day was a club tournament (3 fish limit) a little over 25 lbs. Was culllinig 8 lbers all day. Some local guy, I think his name was James, told me to use Mag Flukes. Worked out pretty good. Old memories are great.......

I'm not sure where he honed his skills as MS is devoid of any sizable lakes. Ross Barnett Reservoir is the biggest there is, and that's a drive from Laurel.

I only caught a couple of 5's after dark on those worms. Good thing I had some other baits that were working for me a little better that helped me catch a few DD's. RIP Lake Austin.

Back in the mid eighties double digit bass were not that common and evidently rare. I fished a local bass club back then and it was one of the original bass clubs in it's day. I caught a 10.13 which is my personal best in a club tournament, and when the news got out the local S.A. paper sports writer mentioned it was being looked at as a possible lake record! About a week or so later my notoriety was spoiled as some snow bird was trolling along the dam, and caught an 11 pounder. A biologist checked my bass scale count and claimed it was a native bass although Florida strain bass had been stocked not long before I caught the fish. Good times and memories. I won $200 in the big bass pot and a lifetime membership in the club. Not too shabby! Just one more cast!
