Today
the Fishing Gods where with me.Caught a 26Lb.Laker, a certified new State
Record. At first I weight it in at Lebanon Bait, and the scale read 25
3/4 Lb.Then Joe called Lisa Barno, and she wanted to see the Fish.We weight it on a certified
scale at 26Lbs.Yippie, I finally got a State Record, I'm still in disbelieve.
At least I was smart enough to weigh it in these time, thats not what I
did with the 14 1/2 Lb.Walleye I caught, I weight it and ate it :-)

Comments: I'm glad I went out later than earlier...the Valley of the
Green Giants was extremely crowded with sailboats and pleasure boaters,
and people with small boats that did not belong out when safety issues
are brought to mind. Overall, it was a perfect evening on the water. Anchored
only once in about 100 ft. Brownies/Bows were enjoying livelined shiners...not
sure what depth (probably around 20 ft down) Lakers were smallish.Took
one bow home with me...can't be beaten for dinner. I heard that a 17 lb.
laker was weighed in today at Lebanon B&T. Seems like the summer has
a decent fishery this year. Bass, mostly largemouth, are stacked on the
banks...shiners did the trick...herring seem to be doing nicely...next
time you are at the concrete ramp, look down....decent schools of large
herring hanging out there away from the trout...tight lines
