This morning's weather was favorable for a first light cruise.

I always begin this deal earlier & earlier each August

not wanting to miss the very start of the bite.

Past several trips haven't produced what I'm looking for.

Got to believe it's been early and the big fish will eventually show.

Otherwise, doubt starts to leak in.

All part of the game and I will remain steadfast on this location 

as well as my approach.

Just looking for 1 bite.

I'll do the rest.

Well, I got it and words can not explain what this one means to me.

Nice one.  I haven't caught a decent one like that in a while.

Topwater fish are the best.

Beauty. Beautiful morning too. While watching your video, I was so envious, as you netted your bass and didn't net five pounds of weeds with it. 

spectacular, thanks for sharing

WOAH. Great smallie and what is that submerged grass I see underneath you when you are releasing the fish?

Sweet!

 

Even knowing ahead of time that you'd caught that fish, my heart still started pounding when you were over the side trying to land it. If there are stages to the adrenaline rush, the peak definitely comes at that split second before you have it in hand. I had a dose the other night. Awesome. Never gets old.

Thanks ~ I agree whole heartedly.
