Harris Chain Sat. 3/3/07

Our club went to get rained on all day Saturday at the Harris Chain, launching from Buzzard Beach in Lake Eustis. My boater and I never left Eustis, we went across to the canals I fished two weeks ago in practice for the BFL. I had two bites all day flippin and pitching a speed craw in junebug and blackberry. The first bite was in the pads and it came off when the hook snagged into a pad stem and the second bite we believe was a gar which cut the braid like a knife. My boater Jimmy caught two fish for the day, one of which was a 9.03 pounder on a blue/black senko weightless, which he hooked about 15 yards friom where I had that 3.1 in the picture of my other post. Ironically I was running the boat for him and I was flippin into the spot where that 3 pounder was laying before, Jimmy cast out ahead of me to some kissimmee grass and bang, the funny thing was there was another boat which had hammered that bank 3 or 4 times and I ran us in behind them going the other direction and it wasn't three minutes he caught that fish behind them. His other fish was about 3 pounds he caught on a main lake weedline on a trick worm, some funky green color. Jimmy won lunker and first place, we just missed the boat pot because I choked for the day. It rained its butt off for the last hour. I will post pictures in the next couple days of his 9.03 and another 7 1/2 that was brought in on a senko as well.
