2 Cats and 1 Logperch

I got on the river this week but I didn't have the luck that Flysmallie had, previous post. I had a hard time finding them and didn't catch a mess of anything. Every hole I came to, I only caught one fish out of. It could have been a smallmouth, goggle eye, cat or pumpkinseed. I caught two pumpkinseeds on the same lure but one flipped of before I could get the picture. I caught three catfish, small, medium, and large. The large one was about 22 inches long and put up a long and hard fight. She made my day. The "paddlefish" is about the size of the smallmouth I was catching. I have caught them before and I know a lot of you "wish" you could catch one but I caught a logperch. He was caught on a Rebel Grasshopper. Everything was caught on cranks. This year I have been taking all my pictures with a iphone, that's water resistant, hanging on a lanyard instead of a camera. It seem to be working pretty good. I also had 2 eagles watching me fish. Fishing was slow, river was down,  but it was a great day to be on the river. Took pictures of a few and released them all to fight another day....

@yaknar congrats on a nice mixed bag of fish! I do like that logperch. They have big eyes for a small fish when they go after those bigger baits.

I wish I had that logperch in my aquarium. 

I went again last Friday night closer to Galena and it sucked. The only thing that kept it interesting were the occasional 14 to 16 inch spots. Everything else refused to play.

Logperch was caught on a yellow Rebel grasshopper.
