July 4th Big Lake Big Uns
 

Hit the water today with the entire family in tow. Day started off rough as we were greated at the storage unit with a flat tire on the boat trailer, putting us an hour behind schedule, but it ending up being a great day. Not a ton of fish, but we made up for it in size. Josh caught one close to 6 and I had one pushing 5. Smallest fish was around 2lbs. Tons of rat reds, croaker, lady fish, and even put a flounder in the boat. It was my 6 year old daughters first time fishing and she said it was "Off the Hook!" Learned that my 2 yr old's Buzz Lightyear fishing pole doesn't float but we were able to distract with with goldfish and cheese crackers...

FYI - Beware of the wier racing team - even had one guy making donuts along the bank. They were still cleaning up beer bottles at Cocahoes at lunch time. Supposedly the crowd reached 3,000 people last night!! Was a ghost town at lunch time as I guess everyone was still hungover.


Happy 4th to everyone!

Nice job, I call those SUPER DAD days; I found out kiddy poles dont float in toleda a couple years ago. Neither do, hats, nets, and Lightning Mcqueen race cars.

looking good guys!!!!!!!

*** does it matter what they were using for bait ? They caught fish,
Good for them. wish i could go fishing.

Nice. Me and my buddy brought our girlfriends this morning. Caught 17. I had a hog break me off at the boat!

i heard through the grape vine that was you a few weeks ago under the lights mr. backlash!:*****:

Nice trip guys. Way to catch 'em up!

thanks for the heads up D even though I never made it too that spot. With the late start due to the flat by the time we got there 12 other boats had the same idea. wasnt worried about the pic since there are miles of bank that look like that and this particular spot wasnt any kind of secret.:shaking:

Judging by the grass, you was at DAAAA WEIRS right Josh? :D

yeah you right!!! one of my top 3 spots

Can't really tell from the photo, but just in case.........nice glasses!!!

Did one of the kids on y'all boat scream bloody murder everytime y'all put a fish in the boat? If so, I was right by y'all.

that was Micah, he can get a little excited

Haha I was first boat south of u on bank. Kid had me rollin'! I couldn't tell if he was cryin or excited!

Good catch.
Sat. the water was clear clear clear.

Was probably my daughter you heard hollerin - she had a nice little stretch there where she screached for about 30 minutes. We saw you guys wearin em out on topwater but that wasn't an option for us due to the way josh casts and the number of people we had in the boat :D

Went back to that same spot this morning. Got twice as many blowups as yesterday, they just weren't taking it. Water didn't get really pretty this morning till around 9am. We ended up with 9, but threw nothing but topwater. Could have picked up a few more on plastics.

Did Josh's mom buy you guys matching shirts?Glad to see she approves of y'alls relationship.... *****!!!!!

Finally after all this time you get to chalk one up in the win column - was waiting for someone to give us hell :D
