Got a call from my buddy Robert Perez, aka South Fla (Hawgtech partner with Mike) to go fishing in the afternoon of New Years Day 2017. He wanted to know if I was too depressed after the Ohio State slaughter by Clemson to go fishing. I told him that was last year so I was ready for my first bass of 2017. After a short run in the late afternoon we got where we wanted to fish. Robert drew first blood on a glide bait & then proceeded to get another. Then it was my turn. I had a hit on my glide bait & we were off to the races. Three fish in the boat in about 15 minutes. I got another and then proceeded to lose a really good fish when I scampered to the back of the boat from the front while she was pulling drag & shaking her head violently. We caught another 6 bass before heading into a spawning flat as the sun was setting. Robert was throwing a Spro popping frog & got hit second cast by the big fish of the day at 7lbs-1oz. We caught a four more then headed back to the ramp as darkness set in. What a great start to 2017. 

oh ya! Great fish!!

Wow! Nice day on the water. Making me jealous. 

Great start to 2017
