No early Christmas Presents from Smithville but still fun!

Maybe the GRINCH stole the keepers?

More difficult today and tough bite. We thought since the water spout was shut we would load the boat. I was nervous to even lower my jig but nope it was a rough day and not just the bite but the wind picked up also. Any way we managed 7 keepers in the boat, a few dinks and I showed Alex how to let the nice ones go right at the boat. He was a good student and after watching me lose one let a nice one go to live another day. I think he was being nice so I could catch the Big Fish! It is the season of giving. Everyone have a great Christmas!!!
