What an awesome day. Set the alarm for 4:00, and my ride was here for 4:30. Went down to Canal Lake and blast-off was at 7:00. Was super pumped to get out on the water for some largies! We started off the day fishing the river that went out to the lake with little success, so we headed out to the main lake flippin' docks, and dunking deep weeds. Got a little 2 pounder casting a spinner bait between docks, and ended up with 2 fish about 2 pounds each before 12:30. We weren't getting nothing big, so we drove to the other side of the lake where we thought there wasn't too much traffic going on between other boaters. I started off skipping docks with a senko, and not much luck.. Switched over to a tube with a small bullet weight and started wacking them! Got a nice 3 and change, and then a few docks after I skipped the tube way back under the dock, felt the fish hit, set the hook and it brought me into the metal leg of the dock. I was able to unwrap the fish and horse it in to the net. Ended up being a 3.88 and I was super pumped!!!! Later on I landed another good fish flipping docks, and weighed in at 9.72 lbs for a three fish limit. Ended up 1st place, and had an awesome day on the water, and learned a few more things! There was only a few juniors, but still tons of fun! Can't wait to get back out.
