Good old Texas summertime pattern Dragging a 10in worm on the back of a Carolina rig.

One Awesome Evening - within the first 30 minutes of a 4-hour trip, I caught nearly a 19-pound bag of my 5 best fish!!!! That does not happen often... I was flipping and pitching around docks with weed transitions to hard bottom, which was the winning ticket. What I noticed was that big females grouped together either before or after spawning, though I'm not sure which. The smallmouth were finishing up their spawning, so these could have been pre-spawn females, but they didn't appear to be very big-bellied. Water temps are in the very low 60's

What a Memorial Day weekend! 🥵
Saturday: Suzuki maintenance (Oil change and lower unit oil), built two rods, sold some BardeRodz premium sleeves (way better than those old mesh ones!)
Sunday: Family car repair day - backup camera install, Apple Car Play, 4 new speakers, 2 brake jobs, 2 wheel bearings, and a few other odds and ends. Even fixed the mother-in-law's O2 sensor 😅. Then, being a Safety boat while my son rowed his scull, I managed to catch 3 pickerel, 1 bass, and a rock bass in 2 hours while keeping a watchful eye on him!
Monday the boys and I had quite the wildlife encounter... this goose nearly became our boat passenger at 40 mph! https://youtu.be/OjwxUyH7DD0
Now I'm so exhausted from this "relaxing" weekend, I went back to work to recover!
As a veteran, I am grateful for those who didn't return - their sacrifice makes weekends like this possible.
Hope everyone had a great one!

I got to Compete in the ACA College National Championship on Hartwell this weekend. It was a blast. We got some good bites during practice but could only manage a couple during tournament day.
