This was my latest exploit, this fish was caught on the main lake using a 5" green pumpkin sinking minnow (weightless). This expedition was mostly about trying out me and my dad's new boat (which I get limited seat time on :). However, we went upriver for the first time and I snaggled a fatty 17 1/2" smally, so nonetheless it was a pretty productive trip for us. Wondering why theres no pics of my dad, lol he got skunked, but got two up to the boat before they spit the bait.

sounds fun, congrats on the new boat

Always fun to show the ole man a thing or two!
