Bad day, Good day. T/M broke on Ron's boat about 30 minutes into fishing so I go to start the big Mtr. and battery's dead, get out the paddles, Ron got the T/M fixed in about 30 minutes and we're back fishing. He just charged the batt's the night before and fired it up at home. Oh well. Not a lot of fish but a memory maker for Ron, his biggest by about double. A nice 6 lb. 10 oz. Largie, WOW. Really glad he just change to 12 lb. fluorocarbon, Great fight. He was still shaking 30 minutes later. I caught a 3 lb. 3 oz. Smallie and a 3 lb. 13 oz. Largie and we caught a few other pounders. That smallie was in 18" of water in the weeds? Doesn't she know she's supposed to be in 5 to 15 foot of water to spawn like all the books say? Really good day. All fish C &R to fight another day.
