I decided to go fishing today since I have been working nonstop 12-14 hr days for the last two weeks. I didn’t really expect much I just had to get out and away from work. We got to the lake around 10 and we immediately saw some fish boiling but weren’t sure what they were. After about 10 minutes Mike sticks an 8lber. It took a while after that to get into them again but we finally found them. If they were busting shad we could catch them if not we would get nothing. We would cast and retrieve for not so much as a follow but as soon as they were up we were getting crushed again. It was incredible. These fish were huge. I had no idea this lake had fish like this. I have hiked in there before but only caught dinks. We ended up with around 20-25 with our top 5 around 40-45lbs. And almost all of them were over 4lbs. I got two real big ones and Mike got one. We both caught a ton. I took a bunch of pictures but honestly I am not sure witch fish are witch. I know the last one I got was the biggest but of course I didn’t bring a scale cause I had to carry a back pack all day and only carried the essentials like water and lures and a camera but my dumb #### figured I wouldn’t need a scale there. Oh well at least I have the pics. Enjoy

WOW!! Matt, that is incredible, congratulations on slaying the big girls! The new bait looks awesome as well! Glad you finally got out there and had a really productive day.

Nice man

Photobucket has some kinda weird URL's that don't link right to show up as images here. The =xxxxxxx part at the end screws it up. Looks like a great bite :)

WOW... those fish look bigger than the 4-8 pounds you claim
Here's the photos for you

Matt, congrats on the epic day man! Sounds like the prototype works! When are they going to be available to the public?

Thanks guys. I am so glad I made myself break from work for a day but I was right back working today and I am not done yet. The biggest fish were over 8 but I am not sure by how much. The bait I was using is a my new model Mattshsd. It was actually the first freshwater swimbait I ever made. I have caught many fish on my previous prototypes but They all had little things that needed to be tweeked. This bait is finished and it works pretty good. I am not sure when it will be availible becuase Even though I have a finished, working and most important TESTED bait, it takes a lot of work to turn that into full production.
