Finally got my first! A healthy 35" from the UP. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to fish early in the morning before a storm. Only caught one but saw 8 and every one of them went into the figure 8.

Congratulations! It appears as if you are already addicted but this will only deepen it. What a great morning.

Very cool! 35 and no bump board pic?:-) you should draw a smiley face on the bill of your hat.

That's my bad the bump board got left at home so I had to get a quick measure with the tape measure while I was releasing her. I thought it was okay to take people's word for it until the fish is over 40", then we need to question

Just got off the lake for the second time today and actually caught another. Just popped the hooks out though, only about 20"

emily?


Yep from Emily. I might have spoiled myself with all the action. Now I'm going to go back to illinois and wonder why the fish aren't lining up to chase my bucktail lol.
