Skipped work today to get out on the water.  First couple hours it rained on us, but then cleared off pretty good.  We caught 16 in all but only 1 picture fish! All were caught on a rage rigged Rage Tail Structure Bug or a BPS speed shad.

Nice fish!  They say a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work, and that was a good day of fishing.

What a Stud ~ !

Nice Bass Too.

Good stuff, Jeff. I got out, too. Wind was a bear,
but I hit a grove of cypress trees. Caught my bass
of the year (most likely) but had forgotten to adjust
my drag from tighter (with a 15lb leader) to looser 
for my current 6lb leader). 

As soon as the beast saw me, broke the water, she
dived and hit turbo and my line went "SNAP"....

Stupid mistake, but at least I caught two dinks to 
prevent a skunk.

Beauty there

Well at least you skipped work for a good reason.

(Most likely NOT)  Go back after her!  Don't give up.  I now how it is losing a big fish.  I have literally broken off 3 this year...UGH!  Not to mention 2 have thrown my bait as well!

Jeff

well done, sir!

Great looking catch.  Congratulations.

I stayed at the spot for about 30 minutes, 
fishing around the cluster of cypress trees
there. Was a perfect spot in the "calm" of
the wind swept water.

Alas, she wasn't interested anymore. I *may*
go back out tomorrow, but we have t-boomers
forecast.

And by fish of the year, I mean *so far*...  

As every year, I plan to best my PB!

Nice one!

Good work Jeff!

That's a dandy Jeff! Now show that picture to your boss and tell them you have caught the bug going around... The structure bug!

Very nice fish, Jeff!
