Ranger. Was that pearl chartreuse slab slayer? I've kinda been holding that bait back for a special day. I will have a houseful over Christmas so I figured I better get back out there and lower the water level again yesterday. Caught 52 but 44 of those were 9" long but you know when they first thump they are all equals to me and the next one is bound to be a pig. We used every thing in the box except Marks favorite and they hit em all. Took a two hour break to repair my trolling motor and then finished the day with a TM that only turned left. Water is 48-49 and we caught fish from 12-27 fow. Heard the blasting for two days and wondered what was going on. Glad Mark cleared up the mystery. My buddy kept looking up at clear skies suggesting we might want to head in before the storm hit. I thought it sounded like Charlie giving Ranger another fishing lesson. I'd try it but hate cleaning all those dang carp. I may lay off for a few days and let those 9" dinks grow an inch.
