Fourth of July Smallie!
Quick Smallie before softball hahaha
Big jump and then went for a ride into some stumps. Had to untangle him off the log and then reel in some more while the boat rammed into another stump. Classic ...more Smallie mess hahaha.
Got my cousin Matt on some river Smallies! Nice to actually have some success when you bring someone out- usually bad luck with me hahaha...
First walleye on a jigging rap for me... Awesome battle on the St Croix Eyecon and was able to detect the subtle bite on the erratic drop action in some current. ...more Not sure I’d have felt the hit in that scenario without a good walleye rod hahaha. I don’t walleye fish a ton so this was my best in quite a few years!
Fall Smallie feeding frenzy is on. This fish had a big ol’belly. Looked like me after Sunday football snacking hahaha. Typical fall pattern- found Smallies stacked ...more on shallow sunbathed flats adjacent to deep holes with current. Did some working from the “boat office” so look’n good with my headset on oh yeah...
