Weeds are growing!!! Yahoo!!! Fished from 5:15 to 7:30. Started in Jackass Canyon with jigs in the tules with no luck. My new trolling motor worked great though. Boat control, what a concept.<P>Next I headed back into the river channel trowing a popper. About 6:30, the bass started boiling on the opposite side of the channel, so I headed over and tried the popper some more, but no luck. So I switched to the castaic threadfin shad (3 1/2"). First cast got one. Second cast had another but lost it. By 7:30 I had two hit short, missed a hook set on one, lost two, but managed to board 5 large mouth, 1 crappie and 1 something else.<P>So can anyone tell me what the "something else" was. It's body was shaped like a catfish, but no wiskers. It had the markings on a largemouth except grey instead of green and the lateral line was not as prominent. It was about 20 inches long and weighed 4 to 5 pounds. It wasn't a striper.<P>Happy fishin'
