So for those of you that couldn't make it, here a little summary of the day.  I did actually make it to the fish and fished with Stu, the Hefty Hefter slayer..... LOL  So I managed 3 fish for 10lb 3oz topped with a 5.1 .... But I already knew that it would not be big fish,  Ran into Weedwalker and Danny G and find out Dan had a 6.0 in the boat and Brian had a 4lb.  Watched Larry S dump a 3lb at the boat trying swing it in like the pro's do....What a sight to see.... So how's that working out for you Larry.  Get by the ramp and Stu and I see Rich headed down to the cemetary hole.  He was getulating in all sorts of crazy ways.  Waving arms, fingers hips, toes....  We continued on to the ramp and chalked that up to it just being Rich......
  Some yelled out to me how I did and I gave my usual "ok" with a 5 lber.  They yelled back "did you see Rich's fish"  8LBS 4OZ.   That's right 8lbs 4ozs.  Wow, made my 5lb.1 look like a guppy.
  Lot's of fun for everyone and a great turn out.  Welcome aboard all you new anglers

Tight lines everyone

Hey Doug,  I didn't need to be buckled in.  There was so much suction between the seat and my.. er..uh.. puckered sitting part that I almost had to be pried off the seat after seeing that mouth come out of the water.  Oh yeah I got it on a "buzzbait" in 30 feet of water. HAHA.

That was a terriffic turnout for a "fish-in".  Probably the biggest in a couple years, that I know of.  At least 25 people.  Good job Rob.  Great "dogs and chili". deviled eggs and of course the TERRIFFIC" snickerdoodles from Mrs. Weedwalker!

I hope someone puts a report out for the ones that stayed and went back out.  There were some real cute fish caught in the morning so must have been some "pigs" caught in the afternoon.  Wished I could have stayed but my brother needed to get on the road.  Besides they say to "Quit while you are ahead"

Many Thanks Brian for a great morning of fishing. I never knew dropshotting could be so effective for big largemouth Catching my biggest fish in the great state of Washington was a treat, and Rich's monster....well, I'm speechless. Rob, thanks for organizing another great fishin.

Tight Lines,
Danny

The fish in was allot of fun, nice fish Rich! Thanks to all who made it possible. This was my first fish-in and I had a blast! Great group of guy's. I look forward to getting back on the water. What was the report on the afternoon bite I had to go. Any nice fish?
