Smithville 7/15....
Took a friend from Switzerland Thomas fishin Wed. evening hopeing to catch some walleyes and whitebass. Ended up fishing some structure in about 12 foot a water tightlinein worms on jigheads tryin for eyes. About 10 minutes into it Thomas is HOOKED into what looks to be a snag. NOT ended up doublin over my lil Loomis rod on a 10lb FLATHEAD!!!!!!!! Thank god for braided line. Thomas has fished quite a bit but its all off shore where he now lives in Florida. When i saw the rod doubled over i swore he was hung. He looked at me and said "Oh no its movin and not comin off the bottom"!! Went back to drownen worms,draggin worms, throwin cranks, dragin cranks nuttin. Then about 8:45 all he!! broke loose, WHITEBASS surfacin. Exactly what id been hopein for. Just wantin him to have a goodtime and catch some fish up here in the freshwater. Ended up with 1 flathead and about 15 whites. Caught lots of whites but just kept the bigger ones. Oh and cant ferget about the 2 good ol boys that dropped us a few nice crappies since we had to get a blade dirty. Jon
