Finally..a decent fish
 

Caught this with my dad Chuck7 ..
6 3/4 pounds

and 10 minutes later he lost a 5 plus..not a bad after work fishing trip,,in all we boated 6 in less than 3 hours..We were flipping the cat tails with blach worm..braid..fattest fish I"d ever seen..

That 6 3/4 had one fat gut.

good job Matt, stay on'em:s4:

did your guide do a good job:s5::biggrin:

Great Job Matt!

I was actually wondering how that trip went after Chuck mentioned ya'll would be going out yesterday.

The fish wasn't that long..I didn;'t have time to measure it { out of water too long for pics..so I quickly let her go} but it was only around 21 inches..it was very fat..I was surprized it wasn't 7 pounds..I had to encourage him that the line was 40 pound test as the fish was going right back into the cat tails..so he horsed it to the boat after a good 7 runs..This is Matt's biggest bass on artificial..15 minutes or so later he hooked another but like so often..the hook gets stuck in the cat tail and the fish swims free...it was a heavy 5 I'm sure..

I plan to go out again tonight ..most likely by myself.It's very difficult flipping with 2 people in 15 MPH wind..

Yeah chuck7 my dad was being nice and put me infront of the boat yesterday. I'm going out Saturday to see if I can't get lucky again in my boat this time. Good luck guys :)

take it easy on him, he ain't no spring chicken;););):p

When ya coming to fl again? If it was now I'd buy ya a license and take ya fishin

man wish i could....got to build my vacation time back up:nonono2::happy0001:

Well..I got ya covered ..Matt would certainly let you and your wife use his boat..and I could point ya in the right direction..a 10 day license is dirt cheap...

My wife is an awesome cook and we got a spare room
