Soo much ground, soo little fish

[Esox Luciano]

The title pretty much explains it all for me for the last 4 days or so. Been only on the prowl for bass and have seen a few that would put a nice notch in my belt. But DAMN!! I beat the river banks in different areas & probably covered about 4-6 linear miles, casting wherever an opening was. Came out with 3 fish: a small & Lmb at about 5" and a nice smallie @16.5". Better than the skunk out though so I'll definitely take it! Also since I had my boots on, put work into my top secret spot and sweated a nice shoal into the river for better angling position. Hard work pays off, just lace them boots up!!

The fish catching victory is that much sweeter when it takes some work! That's a cool colored smallie you got there buddy!

Beautiful fish ! Ive been having a hard time lately catching anything lol im thinking about investing in a castable sonar cause theres not much going on for me right now.

Beautiful fish, can see why they're called bronze-backs. It's not always about the catching, being out on a beautiful day enjoying the great outdoors beats almost any other alternative you have. And remember every slow trip brings you that much closer to a slammer trip. Everything averages out in life and fishing is no different. Looking forward to your next post with you holding another humongous pike. That fish was a beast in every sense of the word! Great report, good job with the smallie!

A couple fish is better than no fish! That's a great looking Smallie! Persistence pays off always! There's no better place to spend free time then in the great outdoors!
