After a windy, raging current filled afternoon on the Minnesota river, hanson and I decided to change locations and hit a spot in the *back yard*.
We hit pool 1 of the Mississippi by 8:00. The runs started happening immediately.. 3 runs later, and one hard chomp(all within 25 minutes).. hanson couldnt manage to hook a fish, but he decided his bullhead was good for another couple runs since it lasted that long.. he was wrong!
Soon after, we were joined by pier bridge, black sportman and his significant other. The runs kept happening at a very steady pace and from every direction.
Manny got his ice breaker of the year, Gary got a couple if I remember right. I managed to set the hook back into my bullhead once, loose a bullhead, and managed to perfectly rehook another bullhead inside a fish’s mouth and rip it out of there to save it from certain death(being consumed).
Manny did manage to lose a big fish in the end.. I guess he wont doubt when I tell him thats a bite again!
The weather was great, the conversation was good, the runs were plentyful, the fish were… small!
But it was a good time. Its nice to hear the tune of so many clickers in an evening!
How’d your new purchase work out?
