Tough night. High flows, recently slow but steady bite, late moon, and cold temps...
Only the strung out do this stuff. Head up north for 1 fish landed and 2 fish farmed at the first spot. One of those farmed fish was a PIG! Trailblazer stuck him right at his feet, his textbook siphon pattern. After two long hard runs the fish wraps him up in a 8ft piece of 4X4 floating in the water. That was it. Lost fish! Don't know how big it was, but from what I saw of it. I would say a DD.
Here is the one landed

Off to the next spot for 1 fish landed and two more farmed.

Third spot I get hooked up and its a nice fish. I batter him up in the dirt, just like gary likes.

Then I take Trailblazer to a little spot I have been hitting solo. Tried to keep it under wraps, but he is my fishin parnter so I had to take him. Turns out this hole was full of junk fish. No fightn' no drag peeln junk fish.. here they are

Then I stick this thing, Note: I fished Largemouth and in club tourney's. I cannot describe the difference in fight and veracious runs or lack of in LMB's then the Stripers.
