Personal Best - May 26th - Canyon Lake

With the success I have had at Canyon Lake lately I wanted to take my stepdad out to get him on some of the fish I found. I went out May 24th before work and absolutely smashed them, had over 20lbs in 3 hours, all bed fishing. He needed to break in the new Phoenix 921 with a big bag. We went to the area I had found and it was a little slow to start with the sun not fully up yet, but still had a few 2-3lb fish in the boat. After a 4lb largemouth, I noticed a massive fish near a rock, and about a 4lb fish with it. I made a long cast to them and it nosed down immediately. I had my stepdad throw into the bed area and within a few seconds it was game on. We thought he hooked the male until we saw the mouth open on the head-shake. She took him for a ride across the cut and into the reeds, I jumped on the trolling motor and as was going in to get her she came out. When we finally got her in the boat I knew it was his personal best. I figured she would be close to 10lbs but she came in at 9.12lbs!!! It was an awesome moment, he took me out when I caught my personal best, and to take him out and get him his, was perfect. It is a day I will never forget.
