Since this is the trophy forum, my goal should be to catch a spotted bass over 2 pounds. That's a trophy bass right there. I love lake McClure!

Last year my goal was to catch some hard bait fish. I completely forgot about this goal, but I did try anyway with less than great results. I still had a fun year with a pb 36 lb striper from the beach, and a couple months straight of epic pencil popper/ms slammer striper action. Largemouths were cruel this year; swimbait fishing was at an all-time low. Doing regular fishing came through with 9 over 10 and 2 over 15, but it was super tough fishing. Then there was Mexico...

Next year I'd like to get a new personal best and win a tournament.
