Everything but the end was average. I caught a total of 59 fish, about half of them were bluegill. My brother only caught two, but they were huge fish! I started fishing the trout magnet on 2 lb test and I worked my way down the bank. Within 15 minutes I had already caught 12 bluegill, missed 2 crappie, landed one keeper crappie, and landed one nonkeeper crappie. I picked up a black/chart. crappie magnet on a 1/8 ounce double cross jighead and picked up 3 yellow bass,1 white bass, 2 big bluegill, and one keeper crappie. I picked up the bison trout magnet again and wore the big bluegill out. By this time it was already 6:00. I used all my bison trout magnets up so I switched to a bison crappie magnet. I'm glad I did! I caught yellow and white bass every cast for the next 45 minutes! Mostly smaller male yellow bass, but 6 big female yellows. Lots of small white bass. At one point I had a nice hybrid on and it was pulling drag. It somehow got off. Very disapointing. About this time my brother announced that he had a big one on a black/chart. crappie magnet. It was a huge largemouth. When it jumped I thought it was a foul hooked carp! It took him about 5 minutes on 4 lb test but he got it in. It measured 20 inches and it was 6 pounds. After he released it he hooked into another nice fish. He and I were a little disapointed after we saw it was a drum. Still a nice fight thought! That one was 20 inches long too. We had to leave at 7:45 because we had to walk back to the car without falling and tripping on the rocks.
