My best catch, not the biggest, was a 6lb. 6oz. largemouth during a club tournament, the first tournament of the year. She was caught at Quail Reservoir, Utah on April 4 2009. I got big fish of the year and angler of the year being the point leader. This makes it two years in a row for both! She was caught on a jig with a Lake Fork Tackle Hyper Worm as a trailer in 25’ of water. [inline bigfishQuail3.jpg] ---

Well here is my best catch of 2009. I got it on a Yum Crawbug texas rigged with a 1/4oz bullet weight. Put up a good fight. No sooner did i grab her my the lip the hook popped out and busted me right in the chops! Good timing! She was 21" and about 6 lbs or so. ---

She did put up a good fight! She shot under the boat and almost got wrapped up in my prop. She did get tangled up in my anchor line though. Luckily i grabbed her just in time before she was able to pull herself free. I was using a 7’3" med/heavy power, Extra fast action Powell Max rod with a Diawa Exceller reel spooled with 12lb test. If you want a great rod check out the ones made by Powell. Cant go wrong there. Great rod and you can feel everything your lure hits. ---

2010 Bass - two largies over 4 pounds and a couple dozen that topped 3… most caught on either 8 pound fluoro or 40 pound braid, my biggest tournament smallie this year was sadly 2.24 pounds. Overall - a 15 pound Northern on a 1/2 oz spinnerbait and 20 pound braided line ---

I don’t dabble in saltwater just yet. I sure spent a lot of time on the water, though! I keep a log of all my days on the water and I’m close to 300 hours for 2009 and just over 300 fish (all species). Last year, I worked 3rd shift and I had over 600 hours on the water and almost 450 fish. ---

nice, im not sure what my hours were this year but my fish count was somewhere over 500, my best year so far with my biggest fishes of all coming this year, a good chunk of that was from one day when it was perfect, it was one of the last days of school and in 2 hours near dark i caught 32 bass/bluegills on my fly rod
