I was at the river and it was still dark. Air temperature was 50 and the water temperature was 68. It started slow but picked up around 9 o’clock when the sun got on the water. 14 smallies a couple spotted bass, 3 walleye and a chipmunk. Those walleye just crush a crank bait. Big one is 21” and the other two were about 16-17”. Lost two really nice smallies at the boat. They just love to go under the boat. Oh well.
I look down and this chipmunk is swimming towards me and he doesn’t look good so I plucked him out. He was breathing heavy and soaking wet. I set them on a big rock on an island in the sun petted him for a little while and let him dry off. I was going to take him home but when I went back to pick him up again he darted off into the weeds. he seemed fine. Weather was beautiful!
