Late post for this one but worth a post. Went out to offut late this day fished the shorelines for an hour or two then decided to hit the pads after no action caught a lil 4 incher right off the back so that made my day right off the back then I got my line tangled and as soon as I do my dad yells got one... and its a big one get the net. fish fought hard for a few mins went straight into the grass( I think he's done this a time or 2 before lol) bought finally got it to the boat and it was the bigest LMB either one of us had ever seen in person measured 18 1/2 inches but probaly weighed between 5 and 6 pounds it was quite healthy released that and then it was my turn caught a 17 1/2 inch 3 to 3 1/2 pounder off the pads just a lttle ways down and that was it for the day. Both fish were released to be caught another day.
