Took all week but finally got the skunk off my boat.
I caught this little guy in about 2 feet of water, swimming a jig down a blow over.
Today, I had a tournament on a pond/lake that is overpopulated with fish. It is great for taking kids to catch fish. However, it stinks to catch bigger fish. The article emphasizes the importance of harvesting bass in small waters like ponds to maintain a healthy fish population. In small ponds, bass can quickly overpopulate, leading to stunted growth and an unbalanced ecosystem. Regularly removing smaller bass helps ensure enough food for the remaining fish, promoting the growth of larger, healthier bass.  In small ponds, however, harvesting 15 to 35 pounds of bass per acre per year is often recommended to prevent overcrowding and support a balanced fishery1.
Caught my first walleye ever on the St Lawrence River this week. 7lbs 6 oz, not a bad start. Epic week! PB for Smallmouth, Pike and Walleye.
St Lawrence River 4 pounder! SUF member, Jamie McDonnell , suggested I use a spybait and it worked.
Thank you Jamie
