Went out yesterday with a fishing buddy and enjoyed the beginning of the summer season. It was warm and sunny almost all day. Water was still a little cold (58) when we launched but, it warmed into the low 60s as the day progressed. Fishing was slow at first but we figured them out eventually and had a great day. We had set a goal of 15 pound of Largemouths and 15 pounds of Smallies. We didn't quite make our goal but came darn close.

Largemouth totals were anchored by three fish over 3 pounds and a couple 2 pounders for 14 pounds.
The Smallmouth total was probably between 11 to 12 pounds with two fish over 3 pounds anchoring the bag.

You have to love the fun that takes place when a big fish hits a bait that wasn't meant to land him. That was the case with a nice muskie that hit a texas rigged soft plastic and proceeded to make several runs after seeing the boat. He also managed to get tangled in the trolling motor during one of those runs but with a little team work and a couple attempts we managed to get him in the boat.
Here are a few pics of the day.



All and all a nice mixed bag for a day on the water.
