We have survived! Just 50 miles North of Houston, Huntsville experienced winds in the 80 to 90 mph range. Knocking power out to my house for 5 and a half days. When I moved here just a month ago I wasn’t expecting to get hammered by a hurricane like this. Massive trees came down everywhere. Here’s the biggest I found, I guess the dog leg on the 9th hole just got a little easier:

Well what do you do without power? Go fishing of course! Who needs power anyway? I found the secret spot around here and had it all to myself for the week. Using my 5wt trout rod I caught many bass ranging from 8″ to 20″.. This one was among the largest, I’d say it weighed around 5 lbs. While my rod had some trouble casting the bigger poppers, I managed to get it out there far enough. I caught all the bass on 3 of the poppers I have, our  ultra foam poppers and the deer hair frog.

My appreciation for having power has reached a new level after 5 days of darkness. Back in Utah we never experienced an extended outage so when people said we might not have power for a week or more I didn’t really believe them. It’s amazing how much destruction one of these bad boys can do. Catch many more pictures here:
