Well it has officially begun!!! I got a nice rash and found where all the blues went too!!! We found 6 fish today and only managed one of them and she was busting @ the seams. The rest were tight lipped and not feeling the urge to feast on my fingers!! There was one monster that we just could not get outta the hole. She rushed the hole once and it was like trying to push a basketball coming out of a canon back into the dark murky abyss!!! It was huge!!!! She was no less than 40lb. but we were never able to get her head turned to get a grip on her jaw. Anyway the one we did get went in the 18-20 pound range(scales broke) and was a nice start for the season. The best catch of the day was a flaming red back and a ton of calf and thigh cramps that made me wanna emoBawl !!!!!
