The entire last week still seems surreal. I was able to meet Mark Brady and do a bit of fishing at Caresend on Thursday. In doing so, I broke my PWF personal best with a 10.2 pound beauty.
As if that wasn't enough, member James Cook and I headed to Henderson for the weekend for an experience we wouldn't forget. The property was immaculate as always and the fishing was downright silly. I'm going to skip over the details and get to the meat of the post. We had 7s, 8s, and one 9.4 lb bass that kept us grinning ear to ear.
Above is the picture of the 9 pounder….. A real bruiser!
But…. at 3:30 in the afternoon, I broke my two day old PWF record to land a freak show of a bass….. 11.5 lbs! I felt certain it was even bigger. The head on this fish was nothing short of MASSIVE.
James couldn't sit on the sidelines for too long and landed this big mama on a deep diving crankbait.
Here come the deets…... Most of the bigger fish came on XD8s (chart and blue) or DD22s on the edges of the main creek channel. I've marked those spots with yellow dots to show you where. The black dot is where the 9 came from and it was on a Tx rigged green pumpkin grub being slow rolled on the bottom. I think I had it on a 1/4oz or 3/8oz tungsten. The red dot is where BIG MAMA came from and she was on a Carolina Rigged big red 10" worm.
This trip was a result of our fantastic club owner, his team, and a land owner like Rocky that supplements the ecosystem with pellet food, bluegill and the like. I'm not aware of anywhere else that gives you the trophy catching opportunities that PWF does. Thank you guys!

What a great weekend! The best part of the trip besides all the big bass being caught? Jackson surprised me by not running into any of the wasps nest this trip!
Its trips like this that want me to play hooky and get back on the water! Thanks to Steve & the land owners for opportunities like these!
