Fishing the Ni Res(va)

Me and my brother went out today on the Ni and boy a day with a few fish, frustration, and unfortunate mishaps. I only caught two for the day. 1 rock bass i think that what it was on the wacky and 1 pickerel on my rattle trap. My brother caught 4. 2 bass,1 pickerel on wacky, and 1 crappie with my rattle trap. The biggest being 2.6 which was his catch. We was moving down the lake till I spotted a fish on my depth finder right on the drop off so I told him to toss out his wacky worm. Next minute I know he's yelling got him. I was fed up by then no fish for me and he has four. So I moved on to the lilies, tossing out the rage tail frog. I had hits but nothing took. I finally gave up and moved on again. While leaving I manage to tangle my line around my trolling motor. Here I am untangling my line and "POP" went my seat. I'm d**n near in the water, just my back in. I almost cap size my jon boat, close to knocking my brother in. Now my backs in and I'm trying to balance my self with legs afraid to grab boat cause it would had flipped over. My brother had to crawl-like on other side of boat and get over to me to pull me in. I was thinking to myself there's fish with teeth in these waters. Luckily I didn't go in fully and I did had my rain suit on so I didn't get my shirt wet. After that you would think one wouldn't use the seat again, haha right. Out the seat i went again but catching myself this time. Pheww two close calls. Finally though I did manage land my first fish and was leaving time for us so as I was leaving I tossed out my rattle trap to troll with it. got all the way to docks and nailed a pickerel. Happy to end the day with two but the trouble i had with the pickerel. I had him hooked. One treble hooked with two barbs in bottom lip and the other barb in top lip. The other treble hooked in his eye and head. Here's the pics I took of my pickerel and my brother bass but now do I wish to had my brother take a pic of my falling out of boat. Also the worst part being beat out by your brother is he was catching them on my poles not his. He did hooked another 2 pounder or so on my rattle trap but lost it right at the boat.
