I was asking for wheel bearing sizes from BCB last week just to have a spare set for my trip to Florida. I had no problems with wheel bearings by the way. I promised a report on my trip when I got back. The lakes are really low as they are hurting for rain. and I could not get into a few places I normally fished growing up there. This was caught on my first day on the lake. The lake is the Talsa Apopka chain She was caught in the Inverness pool / Henderson in case there is anyone from Florida interested. I caught her on a 7.5″ watermelon red wacky worm. My brother in-law and nephew were with me. and they were laughing at me hooking the worm in the middle. Well they did not laugh long because I caught her on the 3rd cast with the wacky worm. She weighed 11 lbs and 12 oz and was 26.5″ long. We left the camera in the truck so I put the fish in the live well ran back to the ramp got the camera and ran back to were I caught her and took some pictures and released her. This fish is now my personal best. Besting a 10.4 caught here in Texas a few years ago. I also caught a bunch of smaller fish in the 2 lb class while I was there. A few guys at the lake asked a few questions about Bass Cat I guess they do not see many in that area and they were impressed. Thanks again BCB Gary Schroeder

Well as you can see I decided to change my avatar. Need to be looking good like Judd and Phil holding up big fish. I had a great time it was allot cooler there in the mornings and did not really get that hot in the afternoon and the water was beautiful clear lots of different grasses. But now it is back to reality. I have a 2 day ABA district championship on beautiful lake Livingston. Im sure it will be nice and humid first thing in the morning and the water will be a beautiful milk coffee color. Time to break out the loud baits. all well if it was easy there would be a shortage of fishing poles. Hey Phil there is a friend of mine that is getting rid of his 520 and is real serious about a P-2 Im taking him for a ride this weekend in my classic, he has been talking with the guys at Bowden already.

Good luck in your Livingston mud hole adventure. However, I have heard they are catching them real good over there. Kickapoo creek is where I would go, but be careful getting back there. I understand theres alot of ABC (Already Been Caught) fish to be caught there. Your buddy cant go wrong by purchasing at Bowden. Great bunch there that will take care of him from now on!
