Finally caught my 1st LMB of the year ... but it wasnt even worth a picture


However i did catch a few fish this weekend that i did get pictures of...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Headed out Saturday night from 6:30ish-midnight ish.

FistFullaFish and i both got a few Smallies and a few walleye...


FistFullaFish got all his fish on a Rapala that looked like this:

And his best Smallie was about 15" and looked like this:

His biggest walleye was 20"... Took pics with his phone so unfortunately I don’t have them to share... he did keep it and said it was delicious.... the next morning i was cleaning out my boat and found that the walleye left me a present:

Not sure what kind of fish it was... but what was left was about 8" long so i suspect it was a 10-12" fish to start with!!




I got all mine on a Cotton Cordell Bleeding Shad lipless crankbait (Walmart special) like:

My biggest Smallie went over 16"

and my biggest eye went 17 3/4"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------






We also went out on Monday.. 6:00amish-1:30ish...


FistFullaFish only got 1 fish the entire day(About 30 minutes into the day) very a nice 18" Smallie.. Caught on a jointed Rapala:

I managed 2 fish.... Both fish caught on a 4" Senko Watermelon W/Red and black flake rigged weightless:

my 1st fish of the day was a 12" LMB that was my 1st LMB of the year... no pic and released.


My second fish came at the very end of the day and was a 17" Largie with a weird looking mouth!

All in all had a great weekend!!

Looks like a good time..Your boat must be running good.

So far so good.... I didnt have a pressure/vaccum tester to verify the seals are done properly... But I took it out 1 other time a couple weeks ago... ran it around chatty a few times and then drained the oil from the lower unit and it was water free Thinking about doing the same thing again after another trip or 2... just dont have confidence in my repair yet.
