I went fishing in Lake Shoecraft for the first time in my new boat with my new pole ( 7" rhino ) and I trolled with a pink fly and caught a 7' bow within 4 minutes!! I threw it back and then I hooked a small perch about 3' long and threw that back also. I didn't get another chance to fish because it was windy and there was thunder and lightning so I went in.....but it was great fighting for the first time!!! :D
