Ugh.

So I hit the water last night with a new guy I met last week.  We took his boat out, we launch and he says " I want to hit some deep water for smallies"  I'm like... Awsome!  Fine with me.  Well we get out there and his electronics are broken, I tell him fishing this deep water blind not being able to identify the deep structure will be tough and suggest we hit the shore line.  He says "Nah, I really want to work this deep water for smallies"  Turns out I figure out he is primarily a walleye fisherman, which explains it a bit.  After 5 hours of working spots he thinks the structure is, I have caught 1 white bass, he has caught nothing.  We decide to call it a day.  On the upset I did have 1 adrenalin moment, I tossed out my cavitron buzzbait at dusk and something hit it... and hit it HARD.  Was definitely not a bass, I'm guessing a large northern or cat, missed the hook up so will never be sure.
