Special Evening on Ray Hubbard! | New Personal Bests!

Hey everybody, have a neat little story here from this evening on Ray Hubbard. I ended up having to cancel my morning trip today because of the rain. Got home and was doing some stuff around the house when my mom called me and asked if I could take her and my younger brother fishing this evening. Now to some people this might not sound like a big deal but my mom has a chronic back injury and there's very little she can do that doesn't hurt her back. Before the injury our entire family grew up fishing on Hubbard and Richland Chambers but I bet she hasnt been fishing in at least 10 years. My little brother is 24 years old and he has cerebral palsy and is deaf. He has very poor control over his muscles and is limited in his mobility. Not trying to throw out a sob story but thats the way it is. Needless to say, they dont go fishing much....

NOW....we ended up at hubbard around 5pm this afternoon and the big storms were bearing down on us. It looked like on radar we had maybe an hour or so before they came through. We decided to brave it out and headed for deep water. The first spot we pulled up and dropped down was a WINNER! Within 10 seconds both of them had line peeling off and it ON! Those fish pulled every direction and managed to tangle their lines together. I thought for SURE at least one would get off but they stayed buttoned up. I COULDNT BELIEVE IT!

After the chaos settled down we landed two hybrids, mom's was around 5-6# and Josh's was around 3-4#. Both fish were their new personal bests! I bet my brothers hasn't caught 10 fish in his life! 

Not 5 minutes after those fish we saw a strike of lightning so we HAULED tail back to the dock. Less than 10 minutes on the water, two hybrid, two new personal bests. Just awesome. A evening I'll never forget. Might even have that picture framed and hung on the wall.
