Fished 10/3

Wife and I camped at Gasconade Hills Resort for the weekend. Did a 6 mile float on Saturday. Started fishing about 10:30 AM thinking we would finish the float about 4:30 ha. First deep pool we started catching smallies and google eyes. Using a ned rig we had non-stop action. The two biggest smallies we doubled up on she had one that was 14" and mine was 16". We lost count after we had caught 35 fish. Remeber I said it was only 6 miles the halve way point is marked by some power lines. We thought we missed seeing them so we continued catching fish thinking we would see the resort soon. At 3:30 pm we finally made it to the halve way point. Picked up the paddling and only fished what I thought were prime waters and continued to catch and release fish. Made it back to the landing at 5:30 pm and did not do the last half justice as far fishing. I had one huge smallie follow a small bass to the surface trying to take the bait away. It would propable have weighed 3-4 lbs. Tried to get my wife to drop a bait to it but it finally spooked from the boat. All in all a great trip and will do it again.
