Well done - nice fish, happy kid! That ones a chunk. Yup - another wiperchaser is born. They are addictive! Did you find boils, or just get hit on? What part of the lake?
I got down there Sunday afternoon - South Marina. Gas motor on the fritz, figured I'd just tool around on electric for a couple hours. Hit the water about 4, only to realize (crap) my battery was only at half mast. Made it to the corner of the feedlot where I'd had some luck last week (first Willard Kitty). Managed a couple pecks from dinkers by shore, but no real hits. Didn't spot up much on the sonar even. No birds, no boils, no bites.
Then - no more battery, so I had to row back to harbor. I'm thinnin next time - (glutton for punishment!) I oughta give the North Marina a try.
Gorgeous sunset - I'll say that much. I think I may have to chase some slimers - rebuild my confidence (and drop off my Johnson for service!)
