    Epic day on the river today

    Launched at hope springs and headed back into creek. 1 small keeper. Headed back at towards main river and hit a spot. I caught a 5.00. Within the next hour and a half we were culling 3.5s. Had 5 for 24.34 in the livewell. Fish were still eating but we were worried for the fish in the well. Trolled over to a near by boat, they took a pic for us and we released the fish and headed in. Were on the water for 5 1/2 hrs but all 5 keepers were caught within 2 hrs.

    Dark baits that moved a lot of water as visibility was 1 foot or less

    Awesome! Buddies of mine had a really good bag yesterday somewhere around there (I won't say exactly where) but they weren't anywhere near 25lbs. Great bag.
