8-9-18, UP

Curly and I hit the water around 5:30p. It was fast but not too muddy, had some green in it.

The 1st 2 hours were very slow...we only got 2 smallies, a 12 and a 12.5!

Then, right around the time this was happening...

...we caught 6 of them!

The current was moving fast. Curly almost got spooled when he hung up and I couldn't get to the motor quickly enough.

I got a nice 15...

Curly then caught a short fattie...

... and then he hooked another rock...except this one moved! After a very nice fight, we landed this fat 19.5 inch bruiser!

The night ended with a nice 16 incher on a jerk bait while Curly tried to get one on a Whopper Plopper (they just were not looking up tonight).

Beautiful fish!  Great job sticking with it and figuring them out.  I hope the rain is not too bad this weekend.  We need a break from the high water.

We pounded some nice eddies and were surprised that they were not there....
