Now that's what I call a SWAMP DONKEY!!! Mark Keyes caught this 15.77 pound fish 6/27/10 during the ACWRL tournament on Clear Lake on a Snag Proof Frog!

Here's how he recounts the bite…

"Caught her on a frog, she exploded on it, sounded like a king kong sized toilet flushing, I set the hook and she broke water we both said oh sh$t, I got her headed toward the boat, we netted about 40lbs of weeds along with the fish (I now need a new net) we started peeling away the weeds and kept saying holy sh%t! She was BEAUTIFUL, we ended up weighing 4 fish for the tourney win."

The frog bite on Austin is typically a month away and lasts until the end of October or so; you gotta believe there are some DDs in there that will eat a frog! I haven't been on a real good frog bite on Austin since 2007, but with the lack of a draw down this year that grass looks perfect for some 'Donk fishing…just wish they wouldn't let so much water out of Travis and let the temps up north warm up a bit.
