Top 5 Update

Hey, five more fish that fill one limit and give another a boost.  A very slow summer just got better, hopefully a sign of things to come…


Weight: 1-5
Angler: Brent Jackson
Date: July 15
Location: Little John Conservation Club
Lure: Buzzbait (chartreuse)
Angler Comments (actually my two cents): Had a good time when afforded an opportunity to fish with my brother.  I believe he had only been on one other outing this year, back in February when he nabbed a 3-2.  We couldn’t fool any “trophies” despite a darn good effort.  Oh well, filled out his Top 5 so I guess that gives us a reason to take another shot to boost the total.

Good to see these guys get a boost, “been awhile” as Randy mentioned in the email he sent my way.  Here’s hoping for some more summer success.  Talk to you later.  Troy
