<br /> Bill shoot me a PM late last night and asked if I wanted to fish with him so at the last moment I gathered all my gear and hit the bed.. Met Bill at Rand R and off we headed.. We started off fishing grsss humps with deep water near by and Bill had a fish on the second cast of the day.. He landed our 1st keeper shortly there after and about 4 slicks later for Bill i got on the board with a fat spot to make keeper # 2.. Bill got keeper #3 then moved to some deeper ledges and humps and caught more fish but no size.. Finished the day where we started hoping for a kicker. Never happened at 1148 we packed up and hauled a$$ back for the weigh in never thinking we would finish one out of the money and 8th overall we were just glad to have a limit.. All keepers were caught on senkos in the grass.. Bill gave me a lesson on using them.. and now i got another weapon in the tacklebox.. Was great to meet Bill and fish with a real nice guy and a solid fisherman.. thanks for the ride Bill i enjoyed it..<br /> <br /> So got home and took the son to Riverpark, plan was to catch some shad them some smallies.. Well after a hour we finally were able to chase some bait down inside one of the turbines and deep but couldnt buy a bite on live bait so we ran down past the bend and fished laydowns and caught a few fish with one nice 17&amp;quot; maybe 2 lb 5 oz just a guess didnt weigh it( to bad we didnt have this one in the AM would have got us some money).. Mostly rode around all afternoon as I promised the son i would teach him how to start the boat and operate it.. He did pretty good still has some learning to do Long day on 2 1/2 hours sleep.. fishing the Grants tourney with andrew in the AM so off to get some zzzzz<br /> <br /> thanks to all who ran the tourney was nice to meet some more new faces and see some old ones.. <br /> <br /> Moc.Bend Largemouthhttp://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq341/JDK1878/7-18.jpg
