Matt Sphar......... absolutely a great guy, calm as hell and a dang good fisherman. Fishing on Lake Toho  ssssllllllloooooowwwww as hellllll. I had one fish in the boat today that was 11" and 3 other bites that didn't work out. I am out of the 50 cut right now at 2lbs even so I am no way in hell out of it. I started the day with a frog and after a million cast over some of the sweetest grass I have ever seen I decided to put it down and start flippin' a smallie beaver, same results! Matt was throwing a tiki stick in blue fleck and had 5 fish in the boat before I decided I would give in and tie a senko on. Don't get me wrong Matt wasn't hauling them in one after another but it was enough of a bite compared to my no bites I just had to give in.
On the first cast with the senko I had a bite and lost him, he was too small anyway. Then I went forever with no bites and then I caught a short, then I had 2 more bites that I missed all on the senko. I have the feeling that if I had maybe given in to the senko a little earlier before the sun got up, maybe just maybe I might have actually got a few more bites. All the guys I had talked to said the bite was tough but I never expected that tough.
Anyway, I drew James Niggameyer for tomorrow and he said that he will be flippin', go figure, maybe I can use what I learned today and get a couple in the boat to make the 50 cut and get a check, if not I will just head to the beach with Timber and Wendy Saturday.

Oh yea, I am having problems with getting the pictures to go through, sorry, Mike
