Got out on my local river. WT was 47, cold and dead calm. Water is very clear. I’ll save the drama. Not one smallie. Some days I just have the patience to drag a jig or something even though that was probably a better choice. Caught everything on warts I bought from @rps . I think I’m first to catch something on his sale items. 3 walleye, 1 sauger and giant drum. I think it’s a drum. @Johnsfolly?
They bite and fight just like a red fish. I had another one on for at least 10 minutes that was much bigger. But I didn’t want to lose the crank. If you can past the notion that it’s a drum it’s pretty fun. After all I let everything go anyway. Thx @rps!!
