Only out like an hour nad a half, and we had fun catchin' fish, again. 2 short trips in a row. Griffin is on fire!

We pulled Off Shore Tackle Planer boards and caught this dandy Gar (see below) on a rope bait. I thought I'd try this earlier because I thought the fishing would be slow, and catching anything is better than catching nothing. And these suckers are lots of fun, they put up a heck of a fight.

We caught Bass, on a new sponsors baits, the micro crankbait guy, Baitzilla: Welcome to Baitzilla - Low Cost Quality Baits I kinda like these baits because the short strike fish on Griffin seem to take that back hook a little better with the "fly" dressing on the rear treble hook.

And then low and behold, while I had CrappieGirl1 on the phone we caught this one. CG1 can vouch for me having to hang up on her to net this one for my daughter. lol

Hard to tell on this poor picture but it was like a hair over 14 inches and weighed 1.4 pounds. On Griffin, well dang. Now that's cool. Who woulda thought I could get'em this time of the year. yay me
