Well Larry, you were'nt kidding!! I hit Sawyer yesterday, Saturday, and had the best day I have ever had on the lake. I did'nt get alot of fish but the 2 fish I got were quality. In fact, I boated my largest small mouth to date. I know I will be scoffed at as I have no photos, witnesses or accurate weight on it, but I would guess it to have been 5 lbs. plus!! I could'nt find my cheepo scale after lipping this horse and could'nt get my camera to work and did'nt want to keep it out of the water any longer. I later found my scale and ste it out for future use. Then I ventured off to another spot where I boated another nice smallie which scaled at 3lbs. As the first fish was aprox. twice the size as the second, I think I may be being conservative on my guestimate. But anyway, after returning home with a mix of excitement and frustration I proceeded to Cabelas On Line and ordered a new scale that I can rely on and, due to it's cost, will keep much better track of. 

All in all, the best day I have ever had on Lake Sawyer, in spite of the wakeboardeds!! If anyone has the chance, Sawyer is hot rite now!!

Best of luck to all, Bob.

Personal best?? Hope you got pics. way to go Russ!!

Larry,
Thanks again for helping me net that "Toad", My personal best. I had a blast with you even without the pig. Lets do it again sometime.

On another note I fished Morton the same day and caught two other nice fish and saw several in the 5-7lb class staging to spawn. The fish were all hanging in 1-2 ft of water next to lily pads. Caught the others on Mr Yamamoto Senkos the long ones about 6-7" long.

The 8.8 Largemouth was also caught on a 6-7" Senko.
Amen to Senko's.

I also want to thank Chris Sargent for showing me how to use this bait in the first place back two years ago on Sammamish. I have found many new ways to fish this bait. At the Potholes tourney I skipped.flipped, and pitched this bait without weights to catch all of my fish on saturday.
Russ
