MONSTER TRUCKS INVADE Fort Worth Texas...

and we were there!!!

Friday night Jacob and I went to Texas Motor Speedway for the monster truck races. He had never been so it was quite an experience for him. When we got there they had all the trucks, quad runners, and tough trucks on the track by the finish line. We were able to go down on the track and see them all up close.

And then there was Dirty Dingus McGee who walked around with a live chicken on his head, drove his little monster truck "Pond Scum", rode a little motorcycle, skied on the dirt behind a four wheeler, and then came out in a little car which started smoking like it was on fire. He bent over to put out the fire and his drawers fell down.

It was a really good time for both of us.

Big Bass Friday...

I went to Prosper Lake on friday with Don and some friends to do a little yak fishing.
I fished with my fly rods and did real well on the 2wt but only got a few "pecks" on the 5wt fishing a 4"lizard or a 4" metal flake worm. So, I decided to just fish the 2wt and catch some gills and redears until I wound up catching a 2 1/2 inch bluegill. Then I got the bright idea to hook the bluegill with the worm hook on my 5wt and cast it out. I paddled around the lake for a while with the bluegill swimming and tossing my 2wt when BAM !!! The 5wt bent double and the fight was on. I fought it for approximately 8 to 10 minutes before it took a jump so I could see what I had on. It then sounded for a while and I was finally able to get her to the top and lip her. She measured a little over 22 inches and we guesstimated her to be right at 5 pounds.
