Well last year, sometime in the fall Muddy sent me a MOOK t-shirt. It meant a lot to me. I thanked him in a PM but didn't want to thank him on the board until I had a picture of me wearing it and holding a fish. Unfortunately cold weather moved in and the fish went elsewhere. Well I had a chance to get out today for the first time since winter and it just happened to be a nice day. Well I got my picture and I got my fish, and whadayaknow? It was a new PB.

I started out at Occoquan Regional Park and as I suspected the rain from last night had stirred up the mud and the water was pretty stained. So I headed to a honey hole a co-worker put me on. I wasn't sure I would have any luck but I made the hike. I got to this large "pond" and didn't know where to start. Until I saw a 3 pounder come straight out of the water about 10 feet away from me. I knew I was in the right spot.

I started out with a jerkbait, and they would not touch it. I didn't have any really good topwater baits and I knew they had to be chasing some sort of baitfish even though I couldn't see any. I was about to tie on a jig when I remembered I had picked up one of those LF magic shads from walmart. Tied on one in watermelon and this girl inhaled it as I swam it over a submerged weed bed.

After this one distroyed the swimbait I tied on a football jig and had another 3 pounder freight train it. The picture did not come out well.

I didn't catch anything else and decided to go home. When I got home I was greeted by my girlfriend who had a suprise for me. A ridiculous tackle bag. Holds eight boxes.

An amazing day thanks to a lucky shirt. Thanks again Muddy!

Nice fish man!  PB's are always great to read about.  You keep hanging out in places like that and we'll be reading about a new PB again real soon.  Good day for sure.
