36 Lb Monster!!!

Fishing continues to be on fire despite the warmer than normal temps which have been at times in the mid to upper 70′s. Warmer temps have the fish floating all over the marsh!!

Stupid Good the past few days!!!

Monsters everywhere!!! Had another one of those days today…. stopped counting at 15 fish just after lunch and I know we caught plenty more after that. Smallest was 22 lbs. biggest was 33 lbs. We have had tons of shots at these fish and they are floating around because of the warm air temps heating the water. Enjoy!!

 

Just one of those days!!

Had one of those days out on the marsh yesterday with my buddy Trent from the North Platte Lodge in Wyoming, landed 20+ fish over 20 lbs and a few were in the 30′s. Enjoy!!

Red Bone Tourney!!

Fished out of Woodland plantation a few days ago for the Red Bone with my boys Glendon and Adam from Spring Valley Anglers in Arkansas. The Red Bone for cystic fibrosis is for a great cause, We fly fished the entire tournament even though there was no fly division.  We ended up winning big fish for the entire tournament which we caught on fly, 43″ long fish that Adam landed, we also caught two more 40″ fish and two upper 30″ fish which ended up being the top 5 biggest fish landed. The day After the Tournament was over it was back over to hopedale to pull on some east side pigs with Chip…..

A couple of Chip’s big fish!!
