nice Brad!
no exclamation points after our report today, but there are still some fish out there to be caught..
saw some boils early, casted my megabait 3 times perfectly into boils, no love..
trolled bait around for nada, changed to a rapala so i could troll faster and cover more ground, nada..
around 8am i see some puddlers, casted a 7X(thanks to Matt Moyer!) and immediately got bumped! keep swimming my iron back in and see 3 YT's about 15' from my ski chasing my jig.. the smallest one got to it first and the other 2 were LARGE, i mean very LARGE LARGE!! i'm hooked up and my fish is peeling off and i'm watching the two LARGE LARGE YT's swim around me checking out my ski!!! i'm not even going to try and guess how big they were...
for those who fish a 8' jigstick from the yak will appreciate how hard it is to gaff a still GREEN YT!!
looked about 17-18#, recently spawned male..
finally got smart and started taking home fillets without all the carcass!
right here he looks about 7# though
