Personal Best And 3rd 6lber Of The Year!!!

Matty Morefish asked if I wanted to fish this weekend and only day I could was Sunday so I told him meet me at 5. My alarm didn't go off and heard my text from him at 540 oh s*** .I jumped out bed and right in the car met up with him in record time haha.we get on the water and have wind in our faces so instead of battling it right away went straight to the source and figured we would fish the break and boy was it a good choice my 2nd cast I reel up slack slow and feel a light tug so I set the hook.I'm in a bunch of weeds so I keep pressure but can't get the fish to come up .It heads towards the boat but still can't tell what it is.The fish goes under the boat and hits the bottom and I feel the thump I pull it out from under and the fish surfaces its a hog!jumps out a the net on first attempt then secured on 2nd try wow what a beauty I weigh it and its a personal best by 1oz 6lb 5oz and my third 6lber of the season.On top of it all its the first fish of the day awesome. To make a long story short finished the day with about 35 bass all about 2lbs except 2 with a 3lb 13oz and a 3 1/2 lb pickerel to boot. What a day thank god I needed this one after a few really bad weeks of hell. Thanks to Matty for asking me to go out also
