Might see ya down there some time, heck I'm thinking about wading around down there this afternoon.

Using light line is fun and a good work out from chasing the fish down river so they dont spool you! Ive only seriously fished for hybrids 5 times this summer. My pictures are from three of those trips, one I let the fish go, and the other trip I got skunked! Believe it or not (I dont!) Ive only broke off one fish out of those trips and he was a monster too, easily 15+. I got him right up the chanel I stand on the edge of and he was directly beneath me in the chanel when he decided to stop. I pulled and pulled and he just sat there, I couldnt budge him. With my rod bent at such a sharp angle (straight down) I knew my drag wouldnt work as well so I decided to loosen it up...too late, fish flicked its tail and SNAP!

My favorite colors are anything white or "natural" I do wade but only if I need to to get to the fish or the spot that looks like fish will be holding.
