Default Big Lake Reds!
Was able to get out on the water today with my two boys which we haven't done in a long time. It was good to be out there w/ just them and caught up on some quality time. Immediately found large schools of reds mid lake, and it seemed like it was one of those days where it all fell together. Only problem for the day was the size of the reds, which were huge. I am not a fan of bull reds, because I favor trout, but those two boys will sleep good tonight and they had a ball. My oldest one caught his largest red of his career and released it after a quick photo!

All fish were caught on 1/4 jigheads w/ various plastics and color didn't really matter. Water clarity was awesome, but I could not find a trout to save my a$$.

Also, had several boats around us today and I must say it was a pleasure to fish w/ the types of boaters we had out there. Everyone was curtious and respectful and just thought I would give them some kudos!

FFF, Excellent report and a great description of the day with your boys. My wife and I were out there yesterday as well and didn't get into 'em like ya'll did but you're right...the spots and the ramps were loaded with courteous folks and everybody was well behaved. Thanks for pointing it out.

That's great!!!!!!! Reminds me of my 2 boys when they were little, a hooked up red meant hanging on to the back of they're britches so they didn't get pulled in.........many of time they each were hooked up & I had a pair of britches in each hand! All about making memory's!!!!!!!!!!
