Epic Trip!

[ollie]

Went down yesterday with Buzz on the Elk and we did a little fishing.  Fishing was on FIRE! Last two times I have been out no matter where I have been the fishing hasn't been that great, but boy howdy that all changed yesterday morning.  We no longer than got into the water and Buzz had the first one on of the day.  Like his first or second cast and a nice smallie came to hand.  My first one came a couple minutes later and it was a nice chunky 15" smallie.  I think we were no longer out than 50 yards from where we launched and we caught over a dozen smallies in the first 30 minutes! We stayed for a couple of hours and then the bite just shut down.  We hit a stretch that we didn't even cover maybe a mile? All in all within 2 hours we had caught over 30 smallies between us and only one dink that was under 12".  For the most part half of the smallies we caught were in the 15" range.  Buzz ended up with the biggest one at 17" and my biggest was 16".  It was just one of those days were everything went just as planned and the fish were feeding like crazy on topwater.  Caught pretty much the majority of fish on the Whopper.
