My Kind Of Monday...
Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 04:57PM Fishtales...They're neverending. I fished on Monday with an old fishing buddy, Don Sonsalla and his grandson, Grant. This year, the guys wanted to zip up to Mille Lacs and hopefully catch a few slot walleyes. We drove up in heavy rain and actually spent the first hour sitting in the Blue Goose, sippin' coffee while the lightining crashed and rain poured. Eventually, the storms slid just south and we zipped out onto a glass-calm Mille Lacs. We could see plenty of walleyes on the electronics, but getting them to bite post-front was another issue. We only got one fish dragging spinners. The good news? Grant had mentioned that he had never caught a smallmouth bass,so we packed up and changed our approach. We zipped up the lake to a favorite rock pile and I had the guys start throwing slip bobbers and, 
Don and Grant's Keeperssure enough, they seemed to do the trick. Grant landed several smallmouth bass and Don nabbed a few walleyes too. I was playing around and pitched a jig up and bang! For a bit of time, I actually thought I might have a new state record. No scale in the boat. We eventually ended our day and I pulled the fish from the livewell back at the launch hoping someone there had a scale. No luck. A few measurements and we sent the giant smallmouth swimming away. It was sure something to experience. Based on measurements, it appeared the fish was somewhere between 6 1/2 and 7 lbs.
