The final day of the Costa High School National Championship was by far my favorite day of fishing in 2016. My partner and I brought in 18lbs-9oz of Kentucky Lake bass to jump 8 places giving us a 2nd place finish only 12oz off the lead. We had 5 for about 10lbs and thought we were done for the day and had run out of fish. We had decided to just go try to catch a smallmouth on some rock bluffs for dun but had one last idea in mind. Went back to where we started, moved out a little deeper and I put a solid 5+ in the boat on a spinnerbait. 30 minutes later in the same area I land another 5+ on a drop shot and we were losing our minds!

They were all good days.

I had a handfull of hundred fish days and a couple really good weight days, but by far my favorite was my oldest son catching his first fish completely on his own.

Early October at a small lake with my oldest son. He caught his personal best in total numbers (quantity) and out fished me 3 to 1. I had a blast seeing him do so well. The buzzbait bite was on fire that morning.
