LittleRedFisherman Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Great day on the river today, of course to me there's no such thing as a bad one. Started early this morning fishing with a friend of mine, catching some pretty good fish at a decent clip. I decided to move up river to a place i'd lost a pig a few weeks ago. Probably not the same fish, but in about the same spot, I hung the first fish in the pics, measured 18.5, and what a fight it put up. My buddy caught a fish just right after as I just made the comment the fishing is fixing to heat up. Then all of a sudden my trolling moter went silent, somehow my prop had come off, as well as the roll pin. We tried to fish just drifting and using the outboard, but that proved to be frustrating. So we loaded up and went up to Fred at Current River Marine, although he only had Minn Kota parts, they managed to find me a moterguide prop out in the bone yard, so we headed to Doniphan after we got fixed up, as I've never put in there....Wow!! It was crazy busy, literally 70 or 80 boat trailers parked.. Anyhow we put in and somehow in all the madness managed to catch a few smallies. Caught the one in the second pic after about an hour on the water, it measured 17.5, but it may have out weighed the first one, it was a chunk, and had a 4 inch shad in it's gullet already, she was hungry! Great day, ready to go back!! There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!

jbooth24 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Beautiful fish sounds like a great day on the water
LittleRedFisherman Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 Mitch, it did have a great color. Caught several fish close to the boat. I figure with all the rain, the springs are still pumping that green water. plus some rains Wed probably have a leftover stain.. There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
