i see what you did there!!!!!!

dandy perch PoP!!!!!!!!!

nice perch Pops!!!

Headed to LOW on Thursday night for the end of the season. Should be beautiful weather!

POP with a pail-sized perch. Nice.

Did you catch any of those freshwater lobsters? Quite the congregation you had there!

There was actually 7 of them down the one hole at once, but I couldn’t get them all in one pic. I did catch quite a few. Just for fun and then throw em back. Some were very aggressive and would scoot from a couple feet away and grab your hook. They always let go half way up the hole, so you gotta be quick with the scooper!

You need that device that Curt Quenielle has (NCOR Podcast on Youtube channel). You step on a pedal and it flops something over keeping an unhooked fish from going back down. Pretty slick.
