20lb sack in the winter time

So hit Washington today, bluebird skies and light wind from the North. Not exactly prime conditions. I managed my best day ever for winter time weight.
I got 6 fish total with the best 5 going just over 20lbs.
5lb 12oz
4lb 3oz
3lb 10oz
3lb 9oz
3lb 8oz
and a 2lb 4oz rat.

Wow,
Nice work Mark. What was the ticket? Rev Rigging?

It was a mixed bag today. Everything worked. 2 on rev rig, 2 on drop shot, 1 on leadhead with 176 hula, and 1 on big tube. The two biggest did come on the rev, and then followed up with the tube fish from the same spot. Needless to say, you better hope this spot dries up before the ABA tourney or your all fishing for 2nd place.

Hope that spot dries up........hmmmmm............more like you better get a faster boat, because it aint gonna do you any good being 2nd to that spot. Just Joking, good going Mark. I'm super jealous, I'm stuck at home with my daughter all weekend, because the wife is gone....so thats like really killing me seeing those pics.

Now that is a sack to be proud of.
Let me tell you, i have see some real nice winter sacks in my time....but i would take that sack home any day........ and twice on saturday.
I will be posting some pictures of my sack very soon.
Not quite as impresive as yours but i am quite fond of it.

Ron, pic of the 5+ coming soon. I use my camera phone most of the time to take the pics. This was such a good fish that my buddy had his nice digi camera and will send it to me later. I will post it as soon as I get it. When I first hook it, I thought it might have been a salmon because it just wouldnlt budge.
Chad, I don't have to worry about getting a faster boat, as I will be in the banana boat come tourney weekend. I think 72-72 will get me there first. Not it it was a race between my 911 pig and your Z-7 that might be a different story.
Floyd, I'm with Ron on this one. Not sure if I want to see the SACK!!!! :-) Just glad a day like this come's along to make it really fun. It makes it worth grinding out the other days in the winter of 2 to 4 fish and feeling good about that.

Jeez Mark, I am jealous now. I still have yet to get the winter skunk out of the boat, but of course I really have not got to fish almost at all, so that may be the reason!!
