started fishing about 7:15, my bro. in-law hooked up on a 18 incher first cast and then my nephew boated a 17 incher 5 min. later. we wore out our welcome on that spot so we moved on to another of my favorite honey holes, things were a little slow at first and we changed some colors and baits and started putting some good ones in the boat. big fish was 4.75, we released everything 15 1/2 and 15 in. sweepers. 8 bass wt. was 22 lbs. so a safe estimate on the best 5 was probably 16 or 17 lbs. surface temp. 62 - 67. most fish were caught in 2 -8 ft. It was a very good day for my nephew and bro. in-law, they dont get to fish as much as me. All fish were taken on plastics, craws, lizards and worms. Green pumpkin, motor oil, and watermelon seed.
