Every once in awhile you come across the perfect fish day. Hope you enjoy this recap as much as I enjoyed the morning!
It started with an early trek in:
The lake was in great condition to start. First three fish were between 10-13. Did it summer kill? I worked into a shallow bay and then hooked bottom. That doesn't make sense because the bottom is muck. The bottom starts moving. Then all hell breaks loose and I break off on 3x
Guess the big ones didn't summer kill. Same bay a short bit later:
Time to play with house money. Big fish mixed with the 10 to 13 inch slot is fun as can be.
I was throwing a small brown/copper bead jig leech until these started popping off:
Switched to a small jig and went super shallow below an indicator: 
The rises seemed small. The fish were not small:
This fish had to have been in about a foot of water when the indicator went nuts and the fish went absolutely bonkers with the hook set: 
The lake got more and more gunked up. I couldn't use the indicator anymore and went back to the little brown jig leech. Caught several more smaller fish. Around 1230 I had enough gunk and started thinking it was time to call it. 
As I kicked in just after noon I made one last long cast and set the hook into a wall. My guess and I don't think many will believe me is 6 to 7 pounds. The girth was unreal:
Doesn't get much better:
Cheers!
