got things together early enough that my buddy and i were launched before dawn yesterday
first wildlife of the day, bald eagle (AMERICA, F@#$ YEAH!!)

first fish of the day, football, almost as wide as it was tall

around now you could hear the awesome sounds of the stake cutting competition (cut 2x4 in half w/ pistols) over at my range (AMERICA, F@#$ YEAH!!)
looks kind of small in the pic (angle maybe?) but this sammy went 19.5"

had a couple more good sammies come unbuttoned at the boat. fish were suspended at 12-14 fow over deep water or hugging bottom in shallower waters. they were feeding actively from 14' to the surface. trolling, jigging, drifting all worked.
around 12:30 we decided to call it a day and head back. then while trolling the way to the ramp nailed this toad of a larry (only one landed all day, had one other little larry come off)

it was a good morning. new PB lmb and smb in the same outing. only thing that could have made it better would have been if wally made an appearance, but hey, can't have everything.
we were doing CPR all day and i got all the big fish on video, including some real nice acrobatics. i'll try to get that edited and uploaded in the next couple days.
shed forever!
