Finaly Fished with the Sim Family!!

[TrepMan]

Well Dan and I headed up on Thurs after work to hook up on Lake Cumberland with Tony and his lovely wife Barb! I'm still trying to catch up on sleep after fishing for 36 hours total between 8pm on Thurs and 11am on Sunday!!!



Not a lot of huge fish or huge numbers, but a LOT of fun was had by all! Dan got the largest Smallie, Tony got the Largest Largemouth, Barb got the largest Catfish, and as usual Trep got beat by everyone!!! LOL I did manage the FIRST fish on Fri afternoon and Sunday morning, and learned a LOT about fishing Jigs!!!



Oh and I got to drive the 911/250xb - WOW what a smooth riding HUGE machine!! I didn't realize how BIG it was compared to my 700lx until they were sitting side-by-side in the parkinglot at Cumberland!! I think the front deck on the 911 is as long as my boat!!! LOL



Thanks again to Tony and Barb for an AMAZING trip, great food, drinks and friendship!



Here are just a few quick shots from Dan's camera. I'll have to wait for Sim to send me a disc, or post a pic of Barb's fish!



Here is Barb and Tony fishing as the sun set on Cumberland on Thurs:

Here is Dan's (and the nights largest) Smallie:

Here is Tony with the 3+lb largemouth! This one jumped OVER the net TWICE before he got it in the net!!!

Here I am with a bass from Sunday AM:
