TR: Big River, Big Smallies, Great Friends
Nice TR Tripper, it was a pleasure. I hope you were not too sore the next
day after the 2 miles of paddling hell at the end. I was surprised that I
wasn't sore in a host more places than I was.
Great fun, nice trip, big fish, good company. We had so much fishing to
do that I never did pop open that bottle of wine I brought along for our
shore lunch, we just wolfed down a sandwich and kept on fishing.
I had one fish that I lost at the net that I think would have gone well
over 20", I was thinking between 22-24". I just grinned and cast out
again.
And yeah I was the chub master, catching a bunch of 1 -1.5 lb chubs that
fought pretty well on their own.
Tripper did a good job of analyzing the deficiencies of the pontoons and
some corrective action will be in place before the next outing.
And Trip enjoy the bottle of bug repellent! (it's a virgin bottle) :-) We
never did get around to needing any as the weather kept the black flies
and mosquitos down all day.
Frank, you know the spot, cu in a couple weeks :-)
