    Details: White Bass

    Going after some preseason walleye but not much is happening yet. But we are still catching fish as you can see with a good eating sized white bass. The fish seem ...more to like to hang tight in the turbulence of the dam. We toss a little Nightcrawler out and in no time at all the fish are on.

    Details: Northern Pike

    Went out to an old spot to check up on how it's doing. We were catching a wide variety of different fish including walleye, stripper, bass, and freshwater drums. ...more But the best had to be topwater pike. There was a group of pike that took airborne once our lures came within striking distance. There was one pike that we had our eye on. He was +30" but we were able to get a hook up. This one was 24"

    Details: Walleye

    After a long streak of bad luck we finally caught something picture worthy. We tried fishing in a newer spot that not many people know about yet. We arrived right ...more at sunset and only planned to fish for about an hour. It only took 20mins before this pig whacked the crankbait I was using in about 15 FOW. She was quickly photographed and measured before we released her. She came out to be 23.5"

      I've caught a flathead that's just about the same size and color, which is very different from the bigger ones I've caught. Any idea if they are different ...more species??
