Yeah, we was in it last night..... and Gdog stole my majic hooks while I wasn't lookin' lol.
I caught one lowly flathead- but he smacked down 6 of 'em while battling the storm- complete with lighting bolts- the river rose at least 3 foot while we were on it.... Gdog caught one close to 30 lbs + five others- dispite conditions we still found 'em.
It's up to Gdog wether he post pics or not... I took the pic of the big one on his camera, so it outta my control lol

Friends, I am trying to get into the picture-uploading biz!

Well, that was quite a trip. After about two inches of rain on our heads, I finally landed a big flatty fishing with Dr Pepper, but it didn't take me long to learn his weakness:

"Here's one," I said. "Get the net."
"What?" Pepper asks.
"The net! Get the net! And move that rod!"
At this point, Pepper grabs my other rod, reels it in, then tangles the three-way rig around the rod of the pole with the fish on it. Now I am fighting both the fish and the other rod, held by Pepper.
"Cut it! Cut it!" I yell.
Pepper cuts the line of the three-way rig, so I can fight the fish.
"Turn on that net light," I say.
"What?" he asks.
I reach over and turn on the net light. Now we can both watch as Pepper thrashes the net around like a sword and tries to knock my fish off the line.
Finally he nets the flatty.
"Get the camera," I say.
"What?" Pepper asks.
So the moral of the story is, if your partner usually catches a lot more fish than you do, don't be surprised if he doesn't know how to do things like handle a landing net or a camera.

p.s. Notice how the first pic is fuzzy as heck. See what I mean? He's not used to being on that side of the lens.

LOL no, at that point I was like in stage 3 of hypothermia.... the part where your brain starts shutting down to preserve your vital organs lmao.... all my dumb ass had on was a tee shirt and jeans - I had to jump in the river to dry off lol.
Nice flattie Greg, now it's my turn again yay!

I considered doing that tonight actually,,,, nice night for them flood flatties... I also considered breaking out the bass tracker w/o tags on it (wonder what'd happen if I got caught?lol)
It's killing me not to be out there right now and WRBC is being a wuss.
