30.57lbs of fun

[troutdog]

After an epic bite at the Co-Op the week prior (report and pics still to come) I just couldn't stay off the water last Saturday night.

Didn't get settled into the spot until prime time, great way to beat the heat for sure....

First of many customers to take a seat that night (size 9 1/2 foot for scale)

Lots of boils around the boat....I don't think they were caused by this beast though! Found this guy swimming on his side next to the boat (sorry Jimmy I don't think your lil buddy made it :Crying:)

Fish came fast and furious from sundown to close....keeping two rods in the water and double hook ups were a chore at times, whata problem to have! :Big Grin:

The final damage for the night, a 30.57lb limit....good times await for those fishing the Dana Rea Tourney this weekend!

Great report and photos, TD. Thanks for sharing. I was out tonight and didn't do quite as good. I had my chances though.

I've been off the water for too long, and this isn't making it any better. Time to get back out there and do some feeshing!!!!!!!!

Good job TD, seems that was a solo mission, lots of work you put in. But hey, that's 30.57lbs of fun! Good luck fishing the Dana Rea Tourney!

WTG CatDOG , Your late night on the water songs are almost as good as your fishing skillz. Props

when I read the title of this thread I thought maybe you'd met Justin Beiber... but catfish are way cooler. Kudos. (I woulda been tempted to eat the bait.)

[PONTOON]

Very impressive stringer of kitties Aaron! :Cool:

The bite at the Vine just seems to keep picking up week by week. I had to save a copy of the sushi pic.......very cool picture. It was good to see you at Dana's Memorial Tournament and I hope to see you at the Vine in the next few weeks. :Thumbs Up:
