Just about repeated the CBA pattern with one minor exception. There was a little current today and on the river there was a little better bite. Started on humps and caught five or six on mostly drop shots. Had three small keepers. Moved to the main river and hit points. Caught a nice one right at 4 lbs off a pig and jig, a couple more slicks and Colby got our fifth keeper off a shakey in about 25 foot. Hard to fish a shakey at 25 foot. We then moved off the main river and started hunting for another kicker. Boated a couple more to upgrade off a shakey and right at nine I made the comment to Colby that at least he did not loose a kicker tonight. He told me he still had 30 minutes. Two casts later he set the hook and said, &quot;This one feels like a gud&#39;un.&quot; It jumped and looked every bit of eight lbs. I got the net under it and she went 5.83 lbs. We culled up again and I told him I thought we had 14.5 to 15 lbs. Turned out I was a little short. We ended up with 15.81 lbs and won it. We missed big bass by just 4 ozes.<br /><br />Fish caught tonight on cranks, shakeys, pig/jigs and drop shots. As I said there was a little current tonight that helped and the water was in the low 80s. Most of our fish came deep from 12 to 25 feet. Had a great time with Colby and was very happy to be able to post our first win with him.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing many of you at the CFF tournament. C-ya on the water. Jmax
