What a fluke'n day!
Morning started out hot and the day got hotter
Started out hot when my buddy make his first cast and the rod bent in half. Fish hit his fluke like a freight train but sadly heartbreak. This wasn't the first time this would happen.
Scenery was beautiful, but it got hotter as the day went on. So did the fish'n.
Here's some of the scenery
It was a big fish day - no dinks at all but the big fish dominated. Days like this you pay attention to everything to try to pattern.
Camera was in the back of the yak most of the time so the "dink's' of the day in the 16-17" range never got on film
But these did
We figured out the pattern and stuck with it

Lost the biggest one. Played it right to the boat, we both saw color, then when I got the net in the hand, the fish looked at me and spit my fluke right at me.
Heart break city
Buddy lost another big one right by the boat too

Nice work boys! Great fish!
At least you can put your feet in the water when it's so hot. I was at the Farmer's Market around 10a and it was pleasant...a few minutes later, someone turned up the heat (when the sun got from behind the clouds).
Time to go fishin' again!

That's when the big ones came up to feed
Guess they don't read the book?

Re: What a fluke'n day!
Very nice. I need to get after some river smallies, this is my favorite time of year to fish for them.

I fish whenever time allows - but I'll admit that pre-spawn and late October has always been big fish time for me
