Finally! After talking about it for a while, Ed (Senile 1), and I finally got together for a little fishing. Ed had a hectic Saturday schedule driving from the Kansas City area to Kentucky Lake (by way of my favorite strip pit lake in Southern Illinois) then a big u-turn back to Sikeston, Missouri.

When we finally got out on the water the temperature was in the 40s and the wind was blowing pretty hard. Ed managed the first decent fish of the day when this fat 3lb 6oz bass fell for a jig n craw.

A little bit later this 5lb 3oz largemouth swallowed my favorite little white Rapala crankbait. She certainly had the shoulders of a bigger fish but appeared to already be spawned out.

In about 2 hours we managed to boat around 20 fish. Some were shallow, some on drop-offs. Ed caught ‘em on a jig, spinnerbait, and a Rage Anaconda. I pretty much stuck to my 4 foot diving crankbait.

It was great to finally meet Ed and get out on the water…hope to do it again soon.

Congrat's guys.

WTG you two That's a great day of fishing regardless of where you are... Wished I could've met Ed while he was at Kentucky Lake, He was running around passing out refreshments and I was busy with others! Keep on Whackin' those Big Heads
