Well for those of you that didn't make it you miss an awesome day! We had 8 boats and 17 anglers and lots of fun. While there were several bass in the 3-4lb range and 1at 5lbs, Darrel stepped out and took big fish again with a 8lb. 4oz. toad largemouth!! then to top it off Stu served a lunch that was 2nd to none, it was very "top notch"  Way to be Stu!! Can''t wait til next month!

I personally and think everyone had a great time.  Daryll, WOW!  What til pics are up of that thing.     I didn't catch one but Russ finally did at 5, a 4-8.  I hooked it twice, but couldn't seal the deal as it went under the dock and came off both times and Russ finally got her.  Must have been on a bed, but couldn't see it.  I really like that lake. 
I haven't been to a fish-in in a couple of years and Stu runs a fine event.  Great turnout.  Thanks,

Terry

Didn't notice the report until now.  WOW, thats a giant fish Daryl.  Guess I missed out big.

Here is the fish. Thanks to Jose

Smoker fish, dude!!!
