Started out my weekend at Willard with my buddy rick, the weather was warm.. the lake was glass and I had high hopes of getting him on his first wiper! ! About an hour into our trip I hooked up with this Nice looking fella...

then shortly after the wind picked up and I was I'm for one of the scariest rides ever in ricks 14 ft tracker. . The lake was swelling over 5 ft in some spots! ! We were soaked and scared as hell when we arrived back at the Marina!!!!
Sunday Bryce and myself had decided to go chase some largies at mantua, after launching and getting blown off within. 30 min we decided to go to our stompin grounds and chase some smallies and musky! !!
Arrived at pineview around 930 and it was glass!!! Fished for musky for the first 3 hours without a follow, time to switch to smallies!
Bryce struck first with a cute lil smally on an mid lake hump that usually yeilds some fish. .. shortly after he stuck this Nice looking smallie![[Image: 2011-05-15141453.jpg]](http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g378/joeweisner/2011-05-15141453.jpg)

I finally hit my bass a nice looking toad at around 18 inches

Ended up with a few more and bounced out when the wind got roaring! !!
