Decided to run up a creek the other day to try getting away from all the boat traffic. At some points we were in 2-3 inches of water and walking while pulling our kayaks behind us. Made a long cast down a stretch of the creek that was maybe 10 feet wide into a pocket of crystal clear water that was 3 or 4 feet deep and pulled this 17 3/4 inch smallie out!!

Took my 13 yr old out on Lake Erie this afternoon to the same spot I caught my smallie on yesterday morning and he caught his first bass!!
