My father in law and I had our best day on Varner yet today. We put about a dozen largemouth in the boat, all of them on Pointers except one that hit a lipless crank.

Our best 5 would have gone 26+, anchored by a 7.5 that I got and the 8.25 that my father in law got 10 minutes later. We got another just under 5 lbs, and a bunch of 3lbers.

Then a bit of a reality check set in...My big fish combined with my father in law's big fish was about the size of Randall's 15 lb monster

An excellent day of fishing !!!!!!

goodness man...yah know, there are a lot of people on this site who would have claimed the 7.5 as a ten pounder. That 7.5 is huge and the 8.25 is just ginormous. Congratulations on the domination. Man, what a day fellas

Nice long fish. Really nice of you to let your father in law get the bigger one!

There are both Florida and northern genetics in the lake. Fish with Florida genetics were in one of the ponds that was flooded when the lake was built.

You got on that bite just in time. Water up there today was only 52 in the am. :'(

Crap...with the warmer weather this week, I was hoping it would hold relatively steady at least through this weekend so I'd get one more crack at them on the same bite

Way to go, man!  Based on the number of views, you just made about 174 fishermen turn a vivid shade of green!  About a month ago, my brother and I pulled in a 5, a 4, and about six 3 lbers and I was in hog heaven.  But that's nothing compared to your day!  Jumpin' Jehosephat!!!!

Well done man!

man im going to have to drive up and fish varner one day

Man, they grow em big in GA! What do you guys feed them bass??
