I am here at the house recovering from an emergency surgery 3 weeks ago during the absolute best time of the year to do what I Love the most, FISH. Big old cut in the middle of my stomache, weak from laying on my big behind the last 3 weeks and can't even pick up my 2 year old son for I would rip something open again. Saturday, Pre-Cold front, Cloudy, Overcast absolutely perfect conditions for not only a lot of fish but BIGUNS. I would bet money that more 5 pounders were caught today than any other day of the year so far due to perfect conditions plus a weekend day with all the boats on the water. I am stuck here with Jimmy Houston catching 2 pounders on a private lake and "I want to Beat the Hell out of Charlie Moore" catching a 9-1 the same day as the Classic in Florida during his Charlie Moore Classic tournament, which he was the only participant. Love to fish, Hating Life cause I can hear my boat in the garage yelling at me to hook up and head off the KY Lake. Can't even bend over to put my shoes on but wanting to try to climb in the boat so bad I can't stand it. Did go outside and make a few flip and pitches in the yard with the Loomis/Curado combo just to see what if I could still turn the reel with no problems. Still wishin I was FISHIN.

Somebody please help a down and out fellow fisherman with a few stories of todays catch. Hope you caught as many as I wish I was catching. I guess another 4-6 weeks before my old heap hits the water with me in it so I guess my C-Rig better be armed and ready by then.

Tight Lines and hope you caught so many your arm hurts to type.
