Went to Centennial Park again today, floated upstream on the south side. Small mouth were slow, but it was pretty hot out. I was throwing pumpkin curly tailed grubs when something hit and damn near ripped the pole out of my hands. Missed him so I swithced poles to the one with a Senko rigged texas and weightless. Second cast to the same spot and felt a light pressure on the line. Set the hook and hold on, man I had a good fight on. He finally came up where I could see him, big ole large mouth. Got him on my stripping net and he measured just over 20 inches and fat as a hog. Got to get a cam mounted up, and a scale. I would like to know what he weighed, he was heavy. That one fish made up for a slow day.
