Simply put we had a great time. Fishing was a little slower than previous trips, but everyone caught fish every day, including new PB's and several fish in every category from 7lbs up to 10lbs. The biggest was caught by AnDDy at 10.3lbs. He is on a roll. He is now the only angler to DD every trip down, as I was unable to get it done this trip. So I am now 3 for 4, with my biggest this trip being 9lbs 5 oz. Everyone knows how well I keep up with numbers,so here are mine, and they are about average of what everyone else did.
164 Bass in 6 days of fishing with the biggest 9lb 5oz on a popper. That is an average of 27+ bass a day.
I am sure everyone will share their stories here, so I will save you mine and just get on with the photos!

WOWOW!!!! Every time i see these posts i get giddy. However, i hope you are planning on going into more detail with specifics or we'll have some problems...
Shimmy, I was hoping to let everyone else tell this one. As for me, biggest was on a yellow magic bone popper. Other bigguns on magnum flukes and junebug lizards. Seems others caught them good on wacky senkos and walk the dog baits as well. Also, the Grande came on a jig.
Jeff
Good job guys.
Andy if I caught a DD bass, I would smile in the photo

Who's the short guy? He'd be much taller if he was wearing shoes.
Great pics, great memories!

Not much taller...
I’m a little late to the party here. Besides good times & great memories, I came home with a nice Mexican Head Cold that knocked me for a loop. Being mostly recovered, I’ll add my two cents worth. The March trip is always a bit of a crap shoot. Hoping for pre-spawn fatties was the plan. With a good majority of the bass population smack dab in the middle of the spawn, made for challenging fishing and a good show. Seeing so many true giants up shallow was both exciting & a bit frustrating. Still the 10 Amigos managed to take care of business and catch several Big Bass.
I didn’t count/document each and every fish caught and some days were a little better than others. The catches were often in bunches as we would get on a certain bite for a while and then have to move on to something else. The 4 to 6 pound bass were eager, abundant and super charged. The afternoons seem a little better than the morning for Dwight and I, although some of the other guys found the reverse to be true.
Flukes, senkos, top water baits, spinner baits, square bill crank baits and scroungers all took quality bass. My biggest two fish (a 7lb and a 10.3 lb fish) came on a 1 oz spinners bait deep and a jig and senko trailer off a steep bank.
Along with the double digit bass, the high light of the trip for me was the opportunity to fish with a bona fide Mexican fishing guide Legend, Sixto. The man is clearly at the top of the game and someone I’ll never forget. Loaded with positive energy and always eager to show you how & what to do, Sixto is the eternal optimist. His reputation precedes him as he has guided several of the world’s best bass anglers. Our days in the boat were a combination of learning from a master, listening to stories of fantastic catches and making some of our own. It’s hard to ask for anything more.

Great trip guys! Nice fish everyone those are some pigs! and i like the golden bass plaque those are awesome.
Awesome report guys. Looks like a great trip. I hope to make it one of these days.
This really looks like the most fun anyone could ever have! Awesome. I've looked at the pictures of these bass probably 15 times already.
Fellas that looked like an incredible trip! Great fish and great friends...It don't get any better than that.
First couple of days had really beautiful skies with serrated cirrus clouds. Here is a picture from early morning sunrise.
WOW - great fish, great company, (and I'm assuming), great beverages in the evening! Sounds like Shangri-La !!
Thanks for posting the pics!

Awesome colors, thanks for sharing. Would love to see a sunrise that intense. BTW, I like it that u know the clouds, not many do. We always had to include the cloud type by names in the ship's log.

Hehe...Jeff was kind enough to make arrangements for some nice adult beverages (in addition to the beer and margaritas that were provided). We emptied a handle of Maker's Mark and then filled it back up with used plastics. I wanted to take it home with me, but my luggage was already heavy enough.

I don't really like bourbon but that makers mark was pretty smooth.
