Made my first trip to Mohave in the new (to me) pontoon boat. We got a late start, had to meet up with some friends that were coming along to catch fish so we didnt get on the water until after 9 am. Was hit or miss in most coves, saw many nice sized LMB and put about 7 SMB in the boat during the heat of the day, mostly dinks. Near 4 pm the bite picked up and started getting into some nice fish. A friend hooked into a monster SMB that decided he wanted nothing to do with the net and immediately snapped 12lb test in a pretty awesome run from the boat. I would guess his size close to 6+ lbs. looked like a football with a mouth. Its safe to say he got razzed for not managing his drag. The trick this day with the SMB was night crawlers daggin behind the boat.
I ended the day with three very nice LMB, 17" 4.5 lb; a 18" 4.8 lb and a 22" 5.6 lb all caught in the last hour of fishing. All brought in the boat by drop shot, hiding up in the submerged trees. Overall a great day on the water, which by the way was crystal clear. Put about 18 in the boat all together. A little warm and a bunch a A holes in ski boats but i am completely impressed with the quality of fish we got into.
