Immediately after setting up, I hooked up two good fish and they both got off at the boat

As we got the fish to the boat and it "flashed" to the top, the sunlight gave the body a golden hue and I thought, "Oh crap! This might be a carp!". Then it rolled and we saw the "green" and knew it was a bass. Got the "big momma" in the boat and started screaming like school kids


Ended up in 8th place and if we had boated the three fish I missed, we would have finished at least in 2nd place. In any case, it was a day to remember.
Clear Lake is an amazing bass fishery. My club's October tournament will be there at the end of the month. Our June tournament was there and I pulled "big fish" for day 2 at 6+ lbs., now this weekend, so hopefully I can continue the "streak".
