woke up around 2:30am. just to head to mineral and beat the croud. the day started off slow. then we the 3 of us started to get hits. not many big ones this year. my friend marty got 1 6.2lb's. nice size. but last year we had 3 fish that size in our group and the biggest of last year was 10.3lb. KIND of SLOW this time. the 3 of us in one boat did limit but no fish over 2lb. but all in all it was great to get out on mineral again. i should be going back to camp. should be a fun time. lost a hugh one on the trip last year so i hope to get another try. keep tight lines. photo of this years big fish with my friend Marty
