Meanwhile, over at Guntersville…

My Bassmaster.com colleagues are intrigued and blogging over by the possibility of someone catching a 30-pound bag at the Bassmaster Elite Series event. 

 

What about here? Been there and done it. The Chief (aka Mark Torrez) weighed a 30-pound sack with nearly 60 pounds caught from the same boat. He and partner Kory Ray needed 10 bags to carry the fish to the scales (well, it’s the law here in Cali).

 

Yesterday the early appearance of sunshine was the curse. Everyone is targeting the big females staging outside the spawning coves. Today the sun didn’t appear until 10:30 a.m. That’s about 2 hours later than yesterday. 

 

So I’m making a prediction. The warming trend and later appearance of the sun will set the stage for at least one, maybe more, bags weighing 30 pounds. 

 

That is from Clear Lake in California.
