    Good work Neal,
    We got out early too and found weedline in 650. We fished it for 4 hours and ended up w 15, one at 11lbs. Was a lot of work w all the weeds but was worth it. Neighbors were really happy once I started cleaning fish!.

    Neal- you were our good luck charm when you showed up out there. 
    MGD- glad you weren’t in the tournament. Next time throw the fish back in the water and tell them to swim south, and to look for a small boat.
