Hot Night, Hot Bite!

[rushing]

Thought it was suppose to rain so I wasnt planning on going out tonight but when I woke up in the afternoon it was looking nice out so I decieded to head out. Met up with my buddy around 6:30pm at a spot that just became sort of fishable due to the river dropping. Fished and enjoyed the weather, my friend got one run and missed it. We kept losing bullheads so Chris ran home and grabbed some more bullies, by the time he got back it was about 9:30 and we started to see some action. From 9:30pm - 12am we got six fish total.

3 - flats under 10lbs

1 - 11lb channel cat

1 - 15lb flathead

1 - 43lb flathead!!!

I finally got my fish over 40lbs!!!!! I got to break in my new 9ft King Kat Pro spinnging rod and it worked great! The fish were still biting when we left but the little nats out were driving us crazy. It was like bugapolooza out. I'll post some pics as soon as I get em from Chris.

Sweet!!!

Thats a good night on the river!

What kind of water were you fishing? Hole, bend, snags, rock???

Inquring minds want to know.

We were shore fishing the spot you, Hanson, and I spent the last part of the night at when we fished together at the St. Peter gathering last year. Its all underwater now so I was fishing the side of the hole behind the rocks.

Havent posted for a while but all this talk about 40# fish has got me itching landed my first 40#er on friday night. no picture but kato kat was there to see the scale. Good luck to all the fish are really active going crazy on the bait fish I wonder if the 73 degree water has anything to do with that?

[I Da Man]

Moosebay...get your tripper out there!

Friday's biggies were 32 and 38

Saturday's biggie was 43

and yesterday only 21 but we had a 26 and 27 inch bonus walleye...

10 pound flat and 26 in walleye came at the same time!

Sorry, don't have time to figure out how to post the pic...I'm out of bait!
