Absolutely gorgeous fishing morning. Overcast skies and gentle breezes. Splash a Gunfish within 3 or 4 feet of a breaking fish and that fish was on!

Braid vs rock > rock usually comes out victorious. Especially on a fish that has shoulders.

Back at Pelican Lake in northern Minnesota for my annual trip. Weather is tough at times with wind and rain. Still getting some nice chunks on jigs, senkos, drop shot and my trusty craw bait. Not much action as yet for smallies though and too windy for topwater so far. We really can’t complain when ...

Couple nice four pound plus LMB chunks from Pelican Lake, Minnesota. Only disappointment of the trip is the lack of nice smallies that we got in previous years. Had a lot of fun the last two evenings on topwater action with the rat and the grasshopper.

Anyway, best wishes and tight lines always!

Snap out of it VB!

Wow, what a story! I guess we will all wonder what broke you off. Deadsticking the Senko. Seen it work for others, I have never tried it.
Those are some nice looking chucks.

Glad you got your rod back. Good story though. I can see the rod teasing you in the water.

Can boats be launched?

It's hard to rely on the water level at Miramar..you never know...

That you did!! Great story too.

19 fish and a little adventure. Sounds good to me.

I’ve had a similar experience only in the bay. I had a brand new set up not real expensive like Vinnys but still brand new. First time used. I laid it down to bait another rod I looked up, my rod was in the water tried to net it, couldn’t get it, but I could see that a stingray had taken my rod ...
