I finally got the big bite I was looking for all week.  I got into a good roll of bites, getting a few, missing a few, then this happened...

10 pounds 7 ounces, just over 25 inches long





That is my new personal best.  My second bass over 10 pounds.  All in all, it was a great week of fishing.  I got around 8 fish average per trip, and a few great memories.  Soon the topwater bite will be here, and more fun times all summer long...  Good luck to everyone fishing Clear Lake next week, I won't be able to make it there.  Back to work tomorrow, just in time for the nice weather too!

Bryan, you are the consumate bass guy. A real gentleman in a world of fools who keep all they can get their hands on.  I am so happy that you got that fish.

On the T-rigged again?
If I was a bass in the delta, I'd be breathing a sigh of relief that you're back to work!
That fish is a milestone for many anglers, thanks for sharing it.
If you don't know where you're headed, any road could get you there.
