    42″ x 27.5″ and about 38 pounds. Caught on a bullhead about 8:30.

    Thanks to WWG and Pierbridge for the assists!!!

    We had a stellar night. WWG boated a 26 pounder not too much longer after that, and we had lots of runs that we couldn’t connect on!

    Phil,
    Thanks for leaving a few Milwaukee’s Best Lights in John’s boat so I could celebrate

    Nice fish, Ryan!

    Big congrats…I knew it would happen soon enough

    Oh, and the Milwaukee’s Best Lights? I think I may have been the donor of those bad boys…unless Phil recently stopped living the “High Life”

    Well thanks to you, then

    There was some Milwaukee’s Beast Light, MGD Light, and High Life in the cooler. Key word there… was.

    I just figured Phil was the culprit.

    Funny…I’m gonna start calling it that!

    Phil’s the High Life dude…I’ve been on a light beer kick this year

    Looks like Phil and I will have to restock WWG’s beer cooler

    Dude, I already called it. That means you’ll be waiting a long, long time. And keep the dam monkey pictures off the board!

    Glad the first run was yours Ryan.

    Let’s make sure it isn’t too long before the next one.

    For the guys that know me……you all know I’ll fish with ya anytime I can.

    Pretty sure it’s time to hit another spot though. Two nights on that spot yielded a 43, 39, 30, and 26. But at least three other boats either saw us catch those fish or know where I was.

    It’ll get hammered well enough to leave it alone for a bit.

    I’ve caught fish from 6 spots so far this year so it’s time to find #7 this weekend.
