Another good day at San Antonio

Aloha, Me and the wife decided to go to the lake in the morning instead of just going in the late afternoon as usual. We got there about 9ish, first stop wife catches a small but fiesty smallmouth. At the next stop we walk the shoreline and get nothing for about 2 hours. We decide to go to the other side of the cove that we were at and hit the point. Wife catches a small largemouth about 1 1/2 lb. I help her release her fish and, cast close to where she was fishing, I catch a smallmouth about 1 1/2 pounds. Next cast I catch a nice largemouth about 2 1/2 lbs. A short time later wife catches another smallmouth about 1lb. About 20 minutes later I catch another largemouth about 3 lbs. Wife then hooks a fish but loses it before she can bring it in. About 15 minutes later I see something chasing shad right in front of me and make a cast, I hook another largemouth and as I'm bringing it in it jumps out of the water and off my hook. Damn it! I cast right out again and hook another largemouth, this time it feels really good, it makes a jump and I see what probably would have been the biggest largemouth I have ever caught, the head was huge and it get off. I'm pissed now, I reel in my jig and see that my hook was straightened out. The last spot we stopped at the wife catches a nice largemouth about 2 1/2 lbs. We left the lake at about 2:15 since I coach track & field at the local high school and needed to get to practice at 3. So the wife hooked 5 and brought in 4, and I hooked 5 and brought in 3. Pretty good day even tho we were fishing from the shore.
