Had the privilege once again to participate in the annual FisherMatts weekend of fishing and fun. I have been helping Billy Seaman on this trip for the last 5-6 years and it is always fun. We started out with horrible winds out of the South and it was a butt whooping of a ride.. I seen a few boats over on a flat that looked like Chuck, they already looked a little crowded so I moved on and I thought for a moment when I made my way farther south that I was on Hubbard.. 14 boats in a boat show!!! Ease my way up and there was Omar .. good seeing you� we caught a few whites there and an under hybrid� Billy went ahead a moved.. 5 minutes later he called and said fish were popping � headed his way and we never left that area.. Billy and my boat had 4 people and we both limited out on whites.. only a couple of hybrids for us.. but the guys had fun .. Matt and his other boat caught good fish also.. not bad for them not having trolling motors.. the wind was strong, then flat calm then picked back up.. even hit a few little showers on the way in.. fished from 7:30 am till 11:30am , all fish caught on SSS slabs from www.moestackleshop.com in 11-27 ft water � Thank you Matt for letting me help again..

The guys also had there home brew lure contest�


In honor of the Royal wedding� a British coin with an American coin.. and a 1970�s Pinto door lock �


I don�t remember what this was but it worked !!!




The fish from Billy�s and my boat

Nice haul!!! We'll need way more than that for the fish fry May 21......

I dont know Jim thats 200 whites and a couple of hybrids

That'd be just about enough then.....

I was waving you guys over when you came by, we had fish on the surface for about 2 hours. Sounds like you caught plenty, glad y'all did good.

Wow, very nice haul!! Nice job JV and Billy!! I am accustomed to seeing the "fish market" pic every year for this event, LOL!! And very cool Texas rigged lures and great time of the year to try em too

sad part is what you see on the table is not the grand total, there were at least 25 more in my box and matt's boat was there out on the lake, hence why less guys in picture. I unretired for this, what was I thinking?

Thanks JV and Billy it was good seeing you guys. This was my first year with this group but a very good weekend and lots of fish and fun. I was on Brad's boat and between Matt and Brad's boats we probably caught another 130. We had pleanty for the fish fry.

That Pinto door lock rod is probably all that was left after it caught on fire.

Great mess of fish, how many filet knives did ya'll burn up?

Didnt see you wave Chuck.. thank you.. but you guys looked a crowded and by the sounds of your hook accident... glad I didnt hope you are ok..

awesome job fellows!

Hook Accident???? We want pics!!!! LOL!!!!
