I'm on fire!

Well I fished the Wednesday nighter at the local lake again. Wife couldn't fish it with me but a friend said he would fish it. Started off pretty good with 2 keepers in the boat in the first hour flipping water willow. Caught several shorts on a variety of baits before we hit a spot I caught a near lake record smallmouth on about a month ago. Fishing the same bait I stuck a heavy fish. Got it close and was just hoping it wasn't a drum I saw color and could tell it was long and brown. I thought it has to be a good smallmouth! Until I saw the whiskers. AHHHH! freaking flathead. Oh well, toss it in the livewell so I can tell my buddies I got a 20 incher in the livewell to scare them a little bit. Little further down the bank I get keeper number 3 on a buzzbait. Caught a couple more shorts and lost a keeper on the buzzbait. Not many fish brought in, a couple of my friends had 2 and 4.27 pounds and 2nd place and my 3 went 5.06 for first place for the 3rd week in a row! I honestly almost feel bad about winning the thing 3 weeks in a row but then again I'm fishing the same lake they are and somebody has to win it! My buddy was a little down about not catching a keeper but it's tough to catch a fish out of the back of the boat when fish are hard to come by anyways! I'm afraid if I keep this pace up nobodies going to want to fish with me anymore!
