Was jonesing to get out and fish a little yesterday but was mired in back-to-back meetings and conference calls the whole day. Did my last call of the day on the drive to a local town lake hoping to get in at least a few casts. Thankfully, I managed to get off the call with about 30 minutes to fish before needing to head off.

Didn't expect to catch anything - or anything of note, at least, but boy, was I wrong! On my first cast, this slob-o-matic largemouth hammered a 5" Senko and gave me a run for my money on a light rod and tackle. I was shocked to hook him, even more shocked to land him, and floored when I measured him up... 24". By far a personal best. Eclipsed my prior PB by at least two pounds and three inches.

Catching a fish so big ya can't hold it far enough away to fit in the frame for a photo... now that sure beats conference calls and meetings...

Made my night. No, made my week and possibly my month.
