I decided to hit the river again today as rain is coming soon. I got out early and started with the Whopper Plopper. A couple casts in, I hooked a big fish that jumped and gave me a good fight. It went under the boat and I tried to grab the net and then I saw the line was caught in the trolling motor. I left it on low and the line was all tangled up. I gave the fish slack and it jumped 2 more times. The second time it broke the line and took my Whopper Plopper. I had just put a new hook on the front. It was 18"+ easy. I did not get another topwater bite. I was able to take off the TM prop and get the line out with no problem.
I ran upriver and it was a long time before I got another bite. I finally got a 15"er on a small crank.
I floated and fished and it was very slow at first. I ended up floating the island we fished yesterday. Gradually, I got some bites on swim baits and the craw. Fished all day until 3:30pm with nice weather and ended up with 12 total. I had a concentration of fish that I floated through and caught 2 decent ones and a bigger one got off. Most fish were cookie-cutter 14-15.25". The rest were dinks and I caught one 12"er.

Glad you got some more.
I had a nice one break me off yesterday. Bob saw it when it jumped, he said is was a good one. I don't know where I was looking when that happened.
