Nice angling as usual.

Thanks for the honest report...takes the sting out to know that it is not simple for everyone else...

Last fish is thick!

We missed you!

It didn't work...I recognize that river.....the Mississippi, Amazon, the Nile???? Tijuana River?? That's a fattie....it scares me what that fish might have been eating in that river....

Thanks to the incredible wisdom of our City Lakes leaders, D.K. will be closing this week for the season....and like every other year, it's right when the lake is really heating up!!!

Great job as always Vinny.

I didn't get on the water till mid-morning and stayed out about 3 hours. Only managed 4 small fish all on topwater. The wind was blowing, and I was walking a Gunfish through the choppy water in bright sunshine. Not ideal topwater conditions, but I couldn't get them to hit anything else I threw.

Only one way to truly find out.

Hey man that was my fish. Stop hogging up all the biguns'! You did better than me. All I could muster was 5 all in the 2 pound range. Had a pretty nice jig fish on early, but it broke me off. Bummer. Good to see you as always Vinny.
