Chick 6-15 w/ Fat Albert

[MadBomber]

We started about 6:00 pm and fished until a little after 9:00. Only caught 6 fish total with 1 keeper. We spent a lot of time trying to find big fish on off-shore drops. Al caught the keeper on a craw-like jig. I caught the other 5, 3 on a zoom trick worm on a 1/4 oz slider head and 2 on a Lake Fork craw tube rigged my special way. All of the fish were stuck on wood, docks & blowdowns.

A beautiful evening to be on the lake with a good friend!

I expected Fat Albert to be a 500lb Sumo-looking dude...these screen-names can be deceiving. Good report. I've read several posts about trying the off-shore humps and ending up with a better bite in the coves and on points.

thanks, Jason, it is an old nickname I have had many years from folks I worked with at DuPont. It was a beautiful evening and all the bites were around wood. Docks that were old and had been there some time. There was deep water near by,,,, 14-17 feet. I tried to dropshot some,,,never done it before, but I can see it has it's advantages. me and the madbomber missed several on C-rig. Don't know why, just did....emoScratch

He really is a 500 lb. sumo wrestler. That bass weighed 12 lbs. It all a matter of scale!

I dug out some old pictures and found one that shows FA when he wasn't so Sumo-esque. He's holding his favorite species. Drum King ain't got nothing on FA.

Nice Colonel baseball shirt in the picture Fat Albert. Did you have a son that played on a Colonel team? I had one that played for them for several years. A first class organization.

Hey tarheel, no I did not have a son playing. I am an umpire and some mom wanted me to have that shirt. I don't think she was trying to bribe me but sometimes the pirks are ok... that was after the tournament.emoRolleyes
