I started the day looking for shallow wood hoping for a quick bite. Threw some reaction baits for 15 mins with no success. My first fish was a 3lbder off some shallow brush. A few yards down the bank I found some deeper wood and got bit by a huge fish. It ran deep first and than went shallow and started wrapping around all the wood. I chased it for a min and it finally got snagged. I tried to let it play itself free but it broke off. I think I cried a little. Ive caught some big fish and this one fought harder than any Ive encountered. I never saw it, may not have even been a bass, but thats fishing... Second fish came a short while later. 3rd fish not long after that. I was culling by 7:30 but not by much. Spent the rest of the day looking for another big one but never happened. Caught a good amount of keepers and a couple shorts, but nothing worth while until with 15 mins left I made my last cast and hooked into the best fish of the day...Mr. Crappie
