Decided to hit the SSR again, woman decided to sleep in so it was another solo trip. Foggy as H up on the highway when I got to the launch road, but when I got down to the river bottom it was a lot clearer. Wasnt even that cool, the run down the river was great, put some ballast up front today so the boat was flying. Not a breath of wind the whole day, and nice and warm! fishing was fairly slow, but made up in quality what it lacked in numbers. I either got the same fish as yesterday 2 more times, or theres one awesome school of hogs down in that hole!:sHa_shakeshout: again, 31 and a bit with 17 inch girth, one maybe a little fatter. Must have done something right to karma, thats 3 12 pound eyes in 2 days!!!! I know theres a 36 incher somewhere in there, hope to get a shot at that one this week before the snow flies again. No sturgeon again today, but I did see 3 smaller ones breaching this time.
Cant believe those big eyes fit in the rubber net, one actually flipped out of it but I managed to net it again :sign0176:
