I hope today wasn't a precursor of next Saturday!

I got out on the lake at "first light" and went to one of my more productive topwater areas and threw a buzzbait and Pop-R until I thought my arm was going to fall off without even a blow-up. I figured, "What the heck!" and went to my fall back areas without a bite there, either. Fished my favorite brushpiles and hooked up with a small 12" largemouth on a Texas rig, only to lose it at the boat as I was swinging it in. Spent the next six hours throwing crankbaits and Carolina rigs on my best deep water stuff without even a bump.

Eight hours in the boat without a single fish just totally sucks!!! At this rate, I ought to just hand over my $30 at the ramp and go back home and take a nap until weigh-in time!
