The weather was so nice Wed the wife and I decided to head out for a boat ride at about 5:30. I decided to check one of my favorite spots on LL and the sonar lit up. Sue caught her biggest hybrid yet on a Flies-By-Night fly. I decided to try one of those newfangled Alabama rigs I bought from Moe's Tackle. Let me tell you that thing will catch fish.

You are a lucky man to be married to a fisherwoman !

And you wisely let her catch the biggest fish.

Gorgeous!

Nice fish too.

I am taking careful note that you space the slab & fly much farther apart on the line than I do. Also funny seeing triple sandbass on the alabama rig laugh great way to fill the cooler in a hurry I bet.

Well, Joe, all I can say is you married well up and we coulda done without any pictures after the first two...well, maybe one with the umbrella rig would have been OK. Can you imagine what it would have been like a few years back having those umbrella rigs up on Lake X? 2,000 hybrid days per boat I'm talkin'!
