Thanks for the offer Chuck, you just never know... Someday I may take you up on the offer..

Well I went out an gave it a try with little to report.. I caught quite a few small smallmouths and 1 largemouth around 2 1/3 to 3 lbs. That was it. I did have quite a few live bait hit and lost of the hook. Some of them without even knowing I had a bite.

While taking my boat out there was a couple of older guys that was taking out right behind me. They said they caught at least 10 or so decent size largemouths. I told them what I had caught and they stated they haven't caught a smallmouth in years.

So I guess I am still doing something wrong.. I have been having quite a bit of action with smallmouths and not so much with those largemouths.. Go figure. I will need to figure something out about that one.
