That was a great day. I'd go ahead and say topwater season has arrived.
While I came in last with only 2 landed, I dropped 4 or 5 others, on of which pulled hard enough to burrow into the weeds. Really would've liked to have seen that one. I lost my hook file a while back and have been forgetting to replace it. Guess I'll do that today.
Here's a long shot of Charlie, I was too slow to catch his bent rod before the SDL happened. This was an awesome hookup. Notice the dark spot to the right side of Charlie's 'toon, he managed to sidearm a cast all the way up under there. We were in the process of telling him that cast deserved to get bit when the take down happened up under there. Even though he didn't land it it was a perfect piece of classic Largemouth Bass fly fishing.
Never be afraid to toss that fly wherever you have to, you just never know.
And here's my obligatory Bass shot. Same fish, you can see we were all using similar flies, just different colors.
Due to the algae forming up, it looks like I'll be using KD's Mat Rat here this summer.
Thanks for getting us on that club Charlie, it's well worth whatever you paid to join.

Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it.
