Got out on Pickwick today around 11:30 and stayed until about 5:30. Started off kind of slow-picked up 2 small largemouths on a bandit crankbait right up next to a bluff wall. Piddle around some more and caught a 13" SPAT on a smallie beaver in one of new found honey holes (except it normally holds largemouth). Finally around 1 or so I decided to move on down river a little bit to some more bluff walls. Started downwind of the particular cut I wanted to fish and another boat comes in, so I hightail to the cut and right as I reached I caught a 3.6 lb largemouth on the crankbait again. Continue on down this bank with the crankbait and hook into about a 8-10 pound drum. Things slowed down, so about 3:30-4 pm I run across the river and begin fishing some docks that I have fished before and caught a couple of small fish on. Start out with the crankbait and as I'm almost to the end of the dock and felt a mushy feeling and set the hook on what would turn out to be a 5.5 largemouth. I decide to put it in the well and continue to fish, next cast on this same spot yields about a 12" largemouth, kind of got blown off of this spot, so I trolled back up(Thank goodness for NEW batteries!!!) and caught a 3.2 lb largemouth from the same spot. Continue down these docks to give the hot spot a rest, come back in 10-15 minutes with a jig and pull a 2.7 lb largemouth off of the same spot. I fished this spot for another hour or so with no more bites, so I found some people that were done cruising on their pontoon boat to snap the pictures, so they aren't great closeups, but proof none the less. So I had a 5.5, 3.6, 3.2, 2.7 largemouth and a 1 lb spot for around 16 pounds, by far the best sack I've caught in my life. The pics are of the 5.5 lber and the 3.2 lber. Sorry I got long winded, still on cloud 9!!! Enjoy carl

I think Burger and I will head out West together and we'll triple team them. Great fish buddy, glad you got on them. We could of used them LAST weekend though!

Proud of you Sweet Beaver Frost... Cooper said you are still the best net man ever, and I agree.
