Had some time to fish today so I decided to hit the river for a couple hours. Got there around 11 and started out with a hj but found no love. Switched over to a crankbait and, after a few casts I hooked into a real nice smallie. Didn't weigh but him but he was heavy, and, although he didn't jump, put up a great fight. Stayed a while longer but got nothin else, off the water by 1.
Felt good to get that first fish of the new year, lookin forward to many more!!!
