Water was way low today. No clue on water temp my fish finder died after 10 minutes of being on. =( day started out slow, all the cover i normally fish was above water, so i tried some new places and it went well. Cought 1 small mouth 3 large mouth countless baby bass and one huge catfish. 28 inch fat catfish bit my lure on my ultralight, after a long fight i got it next to the yak and it spit on me. Also learned my lession about landing catfish. Do not land catfish like a bass. It bit onto my thumb and woulnt let go had to pry its mouth open with pliers, talk about bass thumb lol. No luck with the stripers. Ended up keeping a 16 inch and a 17 inch bass.
