Lander Today
Went with a friend to fish the UP at Lander this morning. Beautiful day although it was 48 degrees and foggy when we launched at 7:30. Used a small black and gold Rapala to start out. Caught 5 smallies between 8"-12" and had about 7 others explode behind the lure without hooking up. Maybe the fog was impacting their vision. By 9:30 the topwater action stopped. Switched to plastics and caught 2 more on a baby brush hog. One hit it like a run-away freight train. After a few minutes and several exciting leaps, she gave up. Here's how she looked...
Measured out at 19". Didn't weigh her but my guess was about 3-3.5 lbs. Biggest smallie this year.

Nice fish! Sounds like it was a great fight.
Together we'll fight the long defeat.

No...I bought two Emotion kayaks in 2011 which I use in rocky/shallow water; and the Revo which I use elsewhere. So, John, interested in getting on the water somewhere? PM me...
