PB sauger and a good fall bite today

[LittleRedFisherman]

Got on the water for a few hours this afternoon and traveled to find some water not like chocolate milk.  It was dingy when I hit the river and pretty swift, so kept my approach simple, cover water and go with the flow!    It wasn’t a numbers day but a quality size kinda day, Which I was more than ok with.   The sauger I caught doubled my previous personal best, and actually was just 1 pound and 1oz shy of the state record!   I fished today because I wanted to give my cotton another day to fluff out after a 5 inch rain, I went to keep me from getting antsy to pick.   Glad I went 👍

I figured you're just getting into fighting shape for jigfest, either that or you're planning on the 10lb weight gain from all the weekend smorgasbord down there hahaha
