Fished with Robert McFarlane and he was a pleasure to have as a guide. Getting us on the fish was his number one priority and not once did I feel "front decked". We didn't get a DD, but I lost two fish that I still have a stomach ache about. Best 5 prob mid 30's with biggest going 8.6. For the most part, we were using Strike King 6XD's in Gizzard Shad, in fishing anywhere from 7ft to 15ft with rocky bottoms. Crank em four or five times and then slow it way down. Brush hogs worked as well, but the crank bite was most effective. Never felt any pressure from other boats, but it was the busiest I've seen it. Gonna try to post pics, we'll see if it works. PB: 10.0 (Lake Fork)

There is one word said in excitement that might not be safe for work, but it's not raunchy. I also wasn't trying to over cook the grits as to the size of the fish, it looked bigger than 8.6.

I had hoped that the wind would cooperate a little better, but hey, that's Falcon for you. Again enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing you again. Capt.
