Loaded up the wife and the dog Saturday morning and headed to Wateree. Splashed the boat around 8:00 and started looking for fish. Found tons of bait on the depth finder so we started deploying the spread. Couldn't get all the rods out before one went over. First fish to the boat was a 6 pounder. A few minutes later looked down and noticed one of the lines seemed to be swimming towards the boat. Hooked up with a long 25 lb male that was beat up from the spawn. This went on for the next two hours. We managed to break the 100 pound mark in just over two hours. My wife broke her personal record twice in one trip ending with a 31 pound female that was released. We also broke the boat's record with that fish as well. The other thing we broke was the scale on the boga grips. We ended up bringing back 6 for the pot. All of our bigger females were measured, weighed and released. Fish were caught in 15-18 FOW. Water Temp was 83-85. Santee rigs and Santee rigs with a rattle were hot. All fish came on cut perch.
Went out Sunday afternoon to Little Allison and did some trolling. We ended with 2 perch, 4 channel cats, and 1 blue. All were pardoned and sent back to fight another day. We trolled in 10-15 FOW. Blue and Chartreuse caught 4 of the cats and all of the perch. The blue came on a crawdad color.

Congrats on the record breaking trip. Nice pics.
Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.
Great day for both of you, great photo's and records being set. I know it must have been fun. Thanks for letting us in on the report and sharing your time on the water!
Glad you caught a mess, I almost went Friday but ended up canning tomatoes instead. Where they pulling water all day???

I knew by the schedule they were call for it off and on all day. But you're right if you drifting or pulling with trolling motor it doesn't matter. Glad you reported, I knew I was missing some fun fishing from the weather and time of year. I see what happens this weekend.
