Friday, H.L. Kerr to Galena

[RSBreth]

Started early and had an overall great day. Lots of fish on the Rogue, some on a Poppin Image Jr. and a couple on jig/worm combos and cranks.

Had a beast of a spot or largemouth on the little Fat A crank that broke the front hook hanger on the bait and split the plastic. I saw green, not bronze, never got a good look at it, then as I got it near the canoe the line went slack. I thought it pulled the hooks out. Nope, broke the crankbait! I 've had a brown trout or pike demolish a balsa bait, but never had a bass ruin a plastic bait like that.

Oh, and the hole just up from the Galena bridge, not the big bluff pool but the small one right after it had 2 trotlines, and at least 10 limblines in it. Be real fun to ditch it out of the canoe and get caught in that.

Anyway, the pictures everyone is waiting for:

Early morning, twitching the Rogue like a topwater fish,

Wading a bluff pool, lots of 12"-14" smallies in the area aroung this riffle,

Caught a couple of good spots like this little football.
