I almost rolled over and turned off the alarm this morning, but instead I got out of bed and went to meet Robert for a little wading on the east end of the isle. We met up a little before six and walked in. The water was a lot cooler than I expected and the it was windy and cloudy but otherwise a great morning for wading. I started out throwing soft plastics but I just couldn't help myself and switched to a topwater. I worked it for about 15 minutes with not blow ups so I decided to switch to my favorite Tequila Sunrise Fatboy. On probably my 5th cast something big thumped it hard so I set the hook and started cranking. This fish was fighting hard so I figured it it might be my first keeper red but when I finally got it in close enough to see I realized it was a big trout! Robert offered his net and I availed myself of it and brought in my new personal best: 26" and 6 1/2 lbs on the boga!
I'm so used to getting skunked recently that I had a heck of a hard time believing that I actually caught the sow, but even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then! Well, I needed a picture of this one so I walked back in and got a guy to take a snap and quickly sent it to a couple of my fishing buddies. I put my baby on ice and headed back for more.
