Today I fished with John, Jacob and Zack. We started the morning trying our luck for bass. We caught a few here and there on topwater baits and crankbaits. John hooked the biggest fish that has come out of my boat since the spring, a largemouth between 7lb - 8lb, but unfortunatley it shook the bait right at the boat....tough one to see get away. The remaining of the day we crappie fished. The crappie were biting really well with over 40 caught, including 15 keepers! Thanks for a great time today guys!

Yesterday I fished with Kevin and Cory from Murfreesboro. Fishing for bass we had a great morning with over 30 fish, all caught on topwater! The next few weeks the topwater action should continue to be really good on the mornings, a great time for a half day trip. Around 8:30am the heat cranked up the fishing slowed down. For the next few hours we caught one here and one there. At one spot Kevin lost a 6+ largemouth right at the boat after it took a jump out of the water....I hated that for you Kevin. Towards the end of the day we located some more active fish on rocky channel drops and caught several more nice bass on jigs. Thanks for such a fun day on the water guys, your bill is in the mail for the lures you lost. haha
