What a day on highland, cloudy and overcast to start, as Hanna pushed northward and away. Then turning sunny and breezy, downright gusty at times. water temp: 71 to 74 degrees water clarity: pretty clear on the main lake to stained in sucker cove air temp: 75 to 85 degrees, although it seemed cooler with the wind 1st place: Pointing dog and Myself with 13lbs. 8oz., anchored by my 5lb. 11 oz. [b:2f4b29e8f3]lunker of the year[/b:2f4b29e8f3](Pointing dog will post pic when he can get to it) 2nd place: 10lbs. 1 oz Ron and Greg 3rd place: 8lbs. 2oz. Mike and Rich 4th place: Steve K. and partner 8lbs. even All in all a good day, most boats caught fish. I believe there were 4 - 5 fish limits, and nobody zeroed. Most fish were caught shallow (2 to 10 feet) from what I gathered at the weigh in. Most fish were caught on senkos, and jigs. some caught on rattle traps, spinnerbaits and worms. All but one of our fish was caught on a texas rigged weighted senko, and that 2lb. smallie came unbuttoned at the boat, but we made up for that loss about an hour later. I can't tell you the crazy story about the 5 - 11 largemouth, because it would give away the location it was caught at, but it was as dramatic as they come, and I cant believe the line didn't break. I did everything I could to loose that fish, including almost leaving my partner on the structure with the net in hand, as I worked the fish out of the cover and did not communicate it to him in time. It was histeracal to see it all happen. Congrats to the winners, on a job well done on this blustery day. Slimecoat
