Great day to be out on the pond......water got to 51 by 5PM and fished from 10AM till 5, had a Largemouth blow up on a Senko fished as a twitch bait and hit it again on the next cast.....just could'nt hook up. Awesome day on the lake....might have to consider Sunday......

Three out of four ain't bad, great fish Russ!!!!

very nice pig!

The odds were not in my favor of sticking that fish during the tournament whether I had caught her two days earlier or not. Too many variables - draw, weather change, etc, etc. I have stuck fish during practice and have caught them during tournament time with no ill effects to my pre-fish days whatsoever when the weather is good, stable, and conditions are just right.

I had found that even though we had a warming trend all week that the fish just didnt move up shallow as they had done in years past when the weather heats up. That lake has perplexed me these last 5-6 years and I just cant figure them out like I did before the carp got in there. It used to be so consistent, you flip to a log and get bit. i flipped to 50 logs and didnt touch a fish. I had two bites on saturday that I swung on but just didnt hook for some reason that were less than 50 yards from where I got the 9 earlier in the week. I fished this stretch for like 3 hours with no other hits.

Oh well thats why they call it fishing.

New boat, new company and new personal best!  Looks like a good year so for Russ.
