We started right in the pads on an incoming tide. Water was gin clear so long casts where needed. I had two pros on board and the blowups where spectacular. A lot of misses and a good number of hookups. Now Drew was throwing a huge swimbait on a very stout broomstick of a rod. But what got me about his odd choice of lure is that he was using 25 lb mono. Every time it got stuck I imagined an expensive swim bait never coming back. But he never lost it. Amazing....

Tom was throwing a big ribbet frog that made so much noise the fish would chase it down and blast on it.

Golden hour this time was golden and about a quick 6 or so LGMouth and two snakeheads where landed. And Drew pulled out his rat and they ate it.

Great evening of fishing

Tom has become quite the snakehead hunter, even Pa Chow has a couple under his belt. Well, after about six trips, Jerry is now on the board, and with quite a snakehead. I have both Pa and Jerry's first snakehead!

Jerry and Joe had quite a few great hits tonight. Joe certainly has a nice fish but,

Jerry has a hog. He was getting frustrated a bit with all the vicious strikes but, no hook ups. This one didn't get away.

It rained just a bit, not too bad. Only a short rain (lightning) delay. The radar showed crazy storms all around us but, they pretty much missed us. Great IHC regulars tonight. A little wet but, no worse for wear.

Another great trip that we won't forget. I was appreciative of the rain, it really helped cool us off. Lots of blow ups and misses, especially that SH that stole the ribbit. The golden hour experiment was fun, Drew had the Spro 40 rat out, I had the Pompadour Jr out against the tried and true Rico that Mike fished. Well, the Rico got the 2 SH, but the Spro Rat got more strikes as it ran just under the surface. Nothing for the Pompadour Jr. And my brother was pumped about the SH...said the fight was everything he thought it would be and then some.

So I sold a Fuego CT casting reel that I had bought for a spare toad rod for my brother, but he's sticking to spinning tackle since he doesn't fish much. I sold it to someone on BassResource, so we planned to meet up to seal the deal, and go fishing since we've PM'd about it before...kill two birds with one stone.

So we meet up at 5AM at Slavins, and it turns out to be Blue Lou that I fished with on Dave's boat a couple years ago as hop ons. What a coincidence....anyways we had a great morning, Lou caught about 5 fish on various lures. I went 0 for 5 on some massive blow ups on my toad rod...frustrating but fun. But switched to the bladed jig and caught 2 good LMB, 1 whisker fish follow that turned at the boat....and on the way out a really big blue catfish...he deathrolled my line and slimed it real good.

Oh, and Lou caught a good size pickerel in 2 feet of water...on a frog!
