Got to chat with Gregory Young out there and he only hooked up with a

with the Lakers. Started out trying for the Rainbows and the Browns and
said let\'s roll for the Lakers !!The fish were active earlier in the
morning, then it slowed. The 24 1/2 \" weighed in at 4lbs. 9 oz. What a
good fight the fish put up, could not budge the fish off the bottom in
the beginning, then finally the battle began , and it was a great one!!!
The others were average size.....  Great time out there again .
