Steam Plant today

Cound not ask for a better day weather wise. Started about 9:30 right next to the barrier. Couple other boats were there also. We landed a couple small white bass. One catfish, two tilapia, and two crappie. Fished minnows. Lander several brim and small crappie. Caught all on minnows. After about 5 hours of fishing I broke out my yum money minnow. Several casts later got a few hits. Then it got hit hard. What ever grabbed it made a mad dash towards the river. I was reeling as fast as I could, but was going the other way faster than I could reel. So if any one finds a big fish in that area with a shad color YUM money minnowin it mouth. Try the lure it's a good one for that area. Wish I could have seen it.

I have a good guess as to what you lost.

It sound like the same thing Merv had on and couldn't stop it with 50lb braid.

Some of those fish just don't want to be caught!

i may never get another bite like that anytime soon, but it sure was a fun fish not to catch.
