    Well Dad continues his hot streak this spring. We fished a few hours tonight without a bite. Then just as the sun started to disappear , the bite started. We ended up with 9 eyes coming to the boat , with 3 being large females. We were pitching ringworms shallow . The river is at flood stage with lots of debris coming down, so be careful out there. Here is a pic with the evenings best fish. She weighed 9.76 lbs and was 27.5 inches long.

    The river down here is .5 feet above flood stage. The temp is 41 degrees and the flow is just under 160,000 cfm.

    Nice fish. Good Job. I’m pretty sure I know where that one came from. I’ll see you on the water.

    Awesome fish again for your dad! Looks like she could not have had much room for food in that belly!
