A cool front headed was headed my direction this week so I ran hard and fast to the lake  Called one of my friends CUATRO just before I left and he said don't leave the ramp without me...   We got there Monday night at 9:30pm and eased out to try to get bit by something besides mosquitos. That night was good but the bite was spotty and the most exciting part was CUATRO hanging a big fish and immediately after the hookset, the fish blasted underneath the back of the boat, only to surface behind the motor and she quickly threw a 10" Thumper back at us...Then I heard OHHHH NOOOO did you see that SOW!!! I smiled and quietly replied "Yeh I saw her, and I saw somebody else besides me get their butt kicked too".  ;D 

The next night a thunderstorm blew in and we ran from one end of the lake to the other trying to stay as far from the lightening bolts as possible. We caught fish just about everywhere we went but the bigguns seemed to be eluding us. Then at about 1:00am I feel the boat rock and hear CUATRO groan...When I turned to see what was happening, he was leaning back into a fully bowed rod saying "This is the one Big O, this is the one".  We were in open water so I jumped down from the front deck and told him to let wear herself down before trying to bring her too close. She made several deep surges stripping drag each time and it was quite the entertaining show   

After she tired and laid on her side, I reached down and grabbed a set of JAWS.  WTG CUATRO, that was another fun adventure for the books and I really enjoyed having you back out on the water with me.   

BTW...This trip, we never ran short on refreshments, hehehe
