[tacklejunkie]

Nice going on all the fish on your trip!
Looks like an albino SMB :LOL:

[supasportkid]

very cool pics and report, looks like a great trip

[RedKnight]

Right on, that is a good looking river/lake. Now get you *** back on those CA canals.

Thanks for sharing.

[buttflyzzz]

nice picts thanks. i sure wish there were lakes here with no people to get in the way

[El Weirdo]

redknight: have my eye on the gas pircies...if they come lower...a canal trip is very much called for..

buttflyzzz: that lake is one HUGE lake ...it too suffers from weekend lake lice..well during summer months..but there is sooooooo much room you can find a peaceful cove all to yourself

[jrockn]

looks like a beautiful area to fish. nice job on the mix combo and good pictures.

Nice trip it must have been. I've been waiting for the chance to go back to Ft. Gibson or oklahoma in general. Excellent fishing. Ft. Gibson is where i caught my PB White and Black Crappie, also my PB Bluegill. Right off there fishing dock they have there. My buddy and i caught over 100+ fish there in 8 hours. Tons of bass,Cats and slabs(all over 1 2/3 lbs) Also the crappie that i'm holding in my pic near my name came out of Gibson.

million of places to fish on Oklahoma..ok maybe not millions but more than we have here...
ponds left and right..a couple major rivers....huge lakes......and best fewer people...mind you the odd twisted every now and then....
