Early Morning Hybrid Hunt
 

Went after some hybrids with my dad on the yaks this morning. Got bait and was at the lake by 7am. Slow trolled herring around and quickly connected with a nice catfish but not the species we were after. Pretty cool to catch one up high in the water column and not near bottom. Continued fishing and had a fish slam my rod and take a screaming run, I knew what it was. But after a short battle I lost him. My dad comes over and soon enough also gets bit but his drag was set too tight and the fish was gone. Had acouple more quick run-offs and ended the day getting a nice smallie and another smaller cat. Will be back soon. Alot of NJFishing members out there!

Looks like a great morning.
After an extended "happy hour" I got up too late this morning to get on the water before the storms hit. Unfortunately, according to the weather forecast, I think that's going to be it for my weekend. :(
