Got out to Lake Morton this morning with a customer of mine and stuck 5 best was just over 4. Then dropped them off at the ramp about noon. Went back out and stuck over 23lbs with my best being an 8-14 toad which I will post a picture of in the morning.

Nice fish Russ, now to do it during a tourney..... Wink Roll Eyes It seem like every year the fish being weighed in for green slips are getting bigger and bigger.  Again, congrats on your personal best. Cheesy

Brian,

Thanks. I was throwing senkos to this fish earlier in the morning but she just wasn't interested. So I thought I would use the advice of Ron Hankinson and try a weightless brush hog on her. After 3 skips- they skip better than I thought they would she wacked it and the fight was on. When I orginally saw her in the morning I was thinking she was about 7lbs, but when I hooked her and almost lost her at the boat as I was reaching for I knew she was about 9lbs.

Morton is on fire right now. I witnessed several fish in the 5-8 lb range just cruising and sitting under docks. All the males we caught were between 3-1/2 and 4-12.

Water temp was 68-70 there today.

Russ

I met up with Russell later in the day and I took the pic for him. I can tell ya that was one nice fish. I managed to catch a couple of nice three pounders myself in just a short couple of hours of fishing. My thanks go out to Russell for taking me out for a bit today. Get that pic posted Russ. That was one fish to be proud of.

Pic posted. You know I always forget to hold fish away from body to get full effect but she was so strong she almost flipped out of my hands and back into water.
