I managed to be on the river by 6:00 this morning. Man was it beautiful down there.
It felt like I was the only person on earth as I pulled into one of my honey holes and was completely overcome with the tranquility of the whispering, yet highly potential scene. :eyebrow: I cannot think of a single better way in the entire world to spend a morning breaking in the day. Not a one :nono:
Which also presented me with an opportunity to capture it and make it my new desktop.

I ended up with 24 bass, and 3 pike. By 9 AM things really began to slow down. It sure was a blast while it lasted. I texted the girls and told them, "IT was on!. Now they are scrambling to make it down next weekend.
95% of the females I caught still had eggs in them, so hopefully if they come down next weekend they'll get in on some of the action. :eyebrow:
Here's a slide-show of some of todays catch.

Wow that's awesome. :highclap: :highclap: I have never caught a bass before but have heard they are fun to fish for.
Jimbo, it makes me happy that you had such a great morning. Love those smallies. Thanks for sharing.
Only one Pike? Really? :doh2:
Ok, I'll settle with one and the rest are nice fish too. :biggrin:
NICE :yoyo:

He was the only one worth having his pic takin, and he barely made specs himself :laf:
That is the kind of morning that will linger in your mind forever, thanks for sharing and hope next weekend you and the girls can do it again. :yoyo: cc
That's a lot of fish catching, and at a perfect time of day. You hit it right on (and you must have some idea of what you're doing!)
Good morning. Wish I could have been along, so thanks for taking us with the pics.
Looks like some fun, but I am sure next weekend will be better if the girls go along to show you how to catch the really big ones.
I do have one question - Have you gone wimpy on us? Brave enough to stick your thumb in a bass mouth, but not a pike. Come on Jimbo, MAN up. ;yes; After all you do have a thumb on your other hand so why do you need two that work at the same time?
