Earliest I've Ever Been Able To Go Out

This is the earlies that I've ever been able to go fishing in Maine. There was still ice covering a quarter of the lake. Got to check out the new electronics side/down imaging, very cool. My father actually caught the first smallmouth of the year. I caught the first pickeral, lol. I have the biggest smallmouth so far this year at 3lbs 04oz, (won't Last very long). I lost another one that was around four pounds, barely had him hooked in the thin skin around the mouth. It was beautiful out there to say the least. If the temps stay up this weekend should be really good. It was a balmy 59 degrees today!!

Only a few fish but boy it felt great, and I can't believe that my three pound smally actual jumped twice today even in this cold water.

What this toothy thing? lol

NOTICE THE SNOW AND ICE AROUND THE SHORE
