Last year I had a tough time getting that far up that slough, some goofy sand bar appeared for no reason.

And FINALLY...Caught this again at Lake Fork this past August, it was 1pm and I swear 105 degrees out, my son wanted to go. Caught her in 30' on a 11" NetBait Worm off a point. She was 24 1/2" long did not have a scale in the boat, and didnt want to stress her out in that heat, so I let her go without ever know her exact weight. I'm guessing based on a 9.2 I caught there a few years ago, that this one was between 9.5-10. 20 min. later I had a bigger one break me off!!!!
