Kayak Stowaway

[yaknar]

I had a stowaway when I went floating this week. I get my kayak from the barn.  It sets in the garage overnight. I took it to the river and floated 5 hr. When I got home and took the hatch off to dry out there was a mouse inside. And it smells bad. I have since made a cover for it  while it drying out. And when I got home and walked behind my truck, my paddle was barely hanging on. I don't know how long it was like that. No one honked the horns to warn me.  As for the fishing it was a very good  day. I caught some nice bass and normally I might catch a couple whites a year, I caught 5 in one day. caught one walleye but when I got him unhooked in the kayak he flipped out before I could get a picture and a mess of goggle eyes. I used crankbaits all the way down the river and they either hit it as soon as it hit the water or they wanted it on a "fast" retrieved. It was a great day on the river, took pictures of a few and released them all...

Sounds like a nice trip!   That’s crazy the paddle made it😂

Its always a fun trip when you can catch a smallie and a white bass on the same trip.

I fished it last weekend and the river is fishing really good . Caught about 30 goggle eye and maybe 10 smallies . Had one brute smallmouth that was over 3lbs , I hooked him in a fast deep pool it was a blast !
