Fished San V on thursday to try and find that present Santa left down there for me. Also tried to get ahead start on the 2003 goals. Well, I looked all over that lake for that present and finaly found 2 of them hidden in Barona. Both fish were around 5 lbs. Then as the day turned to the afternoon and the clouds slowly started to roll in, the swimbait bite kicked in. Right away I rallied a 6.85 on the Eagle and then the very next cast, bam, but it didnt hook. I saw the fish as it came up sideways on the bait. It looked around 5 lbs or so. We fished another hour and at about 4:30, right before they kicked us off, I had a 10+ jump all the way over my bait and miss it.

Oh so close!!!
As stated before, 2 of my goals are a 30lb sack amd a 10+ from San V on a swimbait.

I had 3 fish for around 16 lbs and 2 more close calls.

I guess thats what I get for trying to jump the gun:)
OH SO CLOSE!!!!
