Bro, I really want to thank you for an outstanding day! I will never forget it. Wow!

Swampy took me out in his boat on the delta today and I caught my personal best largemouth, 10.3! That FINALLY improves on my previous best, 7.3, caught at Clear Lake over ten years ago! I also got a 6.5 and two other small keepers. Swampy got some good ones too!

It was pretty cold and raining when we went out. Swampy picked up fish early and I tried a spinnerbait, crankbait, rip bait, yada, yada, yada with no hookup. Swampy had been catching some of his on a creature bait and suggested tying on a brush hog. I Texas rigged it with a red bead and was pulling it off ledges outside the weedline and just felt weight so I set the hook. I never felt the bite, just weight. So I lipped it, we weighed it, took a couple of quick pics from my cell phone (camera battery was dead), and quickly released it. What a GREAT FREAKING DAY! A personal best and over ten pounds to boot!

The 6.5 came the same way. I did not feel a bite on this one either but my line started moving so I set the hook. Swampy said we were on the backside of Coney Island.

Swampy, the pics look great! I will email the one I managed to download from my phone and the second once it comes across. I'll post both when I get them resized.

P.S. The rain stopped about half way through our day then it got even colder and windier. Burrrr!
