While everyone else was watching football (present company excepted), I was out looking for that 1st fish of '06, and -- after about *3 hours* of trying -- I finally got her. She was a nice 2-1/2'er (pretty good for Anderson!), just off the launch ramp, on a brown & orange jig crawled slowly on the bottom. Boy, was it nice to feel that lure *pull back* again!!! :7 First jig fish in awhile, too, which I rather enjoyed. I hadn't pulled in a jig fish in probably over a year, painstaking as it was to crawl it so slowly, inch by inch across the bottom. Missed another coupla bites, but at least I can say I've officially broken in the new license! (Sorry, no pics).


Alright, I'm ready now -- Bring Awn the Spawn! Big Mama's comin' UP (if she ain't there already)!
