And we caught fish too. I gave the young lad a break and let him drive down to the sticks in the daylight, and we head out shortly before 7am. I was afraid the bite might be off due to the recent cold front, but when I saw water temps in the main lake held steady, I figured we would do ok. We caught fish all day, sometimes we had doubles, sometimes we would go an hour between bites, then catch 5-6 in the next couple minutes, that's just the kind of day it was. We fished till about 5pm, with a break for lunch, and between the 2 of us put 40 fish in the boat. Pretty even numbers between the two of us too. I had the edge in Largemouth with about an 80/20 split between them and smallies, and he had the opposite with more smallies than largemouth. My best 5 were a 4-14, 4-9, 4-2, 3-13 largemouths, and a decent smallie we "forgot" to weigh LOL. He had the big smallmouth for the day at 4-4, and another LM pushing 4, and a good bunch of of upper 3lb range smallies. Fun day, and better than even I expected. Junk fishing ruled the day..............a little of this, a little of that.  And I am afraid I caused Ben to go home and make a TW order LOL.

 

My best and his best LM...typical Silver lake tanks....short and fat.

 

And two of our better smallmouth....they are not quite the footballs the LMB in this lake are, but are still pretty chunky

 

 

Mine is doing tricks for the camera.....I trained it to pee on command.

Those are great fish. The picture of the smallie peeing made me laugh out loud. That is priceless!

Nice fish there.... They are fattys!

That's my kinda day there!

Nice fish. Sounds and looks like a great day.

Some Nice Bass right there -
