We had our best trip ever to the Cinaruco. Water was high (what else is new) but the big ones would come out of the sticks for the topwaters. I had my best day ever catching 5 over 8 lbs, 3 over 9 lbs, a 10.6, a 11.3, and a 12.2 all on the same day on big woodchoppers. Lefty Perez had big fish at 12.6. Very hot and rained like hell every afternoon except for one day. We were first in camp and had a great time.

Naturally, they caught these lunkers on the trip that I did not make with them!
