We put in at the River park at 8:30am looking for smallies. My first three cast were spots around three pounds emoDance and it just got better after that. We caught a lot of fish today, crappie, big bream, and I caught four drum and we caught a lot of spots. The best part of the day is when I set the hook and told Doug to get the net because it was a very good fish that I had on. When I first saw him go under the boat I thought I had a 8 lb. smallmouth emoApplause I kept thinking. please don't come unbuttom emoPlease After two tries, Doug got it in the net emoGoofy It was my personal best smallmouth, it went 5 lbs. 6 ounces This was a dream day of fishing for both of us. All fish were caught on plastic and were released to fight again. We kept the smallie out long enough to weigh and take a pic and then released. emoFish emoAngler emoFish
