I like to C & R Troll for sUMo S-eyes & rarely bring one in for a photo .. Well my next door neighbor "BlueGill Web" just can't get the hang of trollin' for S-Eyes on his Toon over shallow 3' humps
Any-Who ~ Ole' Web asked me if-in' I'd bring him back a couple of eaters for dinner, as he was a-gettin' burnt-out on Gills & Crappie .. Ole' Raybob says "Sure enough, No problem" LoL
So I dropped the Beater I-Boat in the ~~~~~ & commenced S-Eye trollin' for a hour & a half or so .. I came in with the one above & a pair of 18-19" Eaters in the livewell. I slipped the 7 on the bottom hook & the 2 eaters a couple of notches up the stringer & hung it off my seawall - heheh!
Then I walked around to the other side of my fishin' shack to Web's place & told him I brought him back a couple of Eaters ~ Ole' Web follows me back to the boathouse seawall & lifts the stringer aways & says "Oh Yeah" when the 1st one comes in sight & then as he goes to lift the stringer outta the ~~~~~ he Hollars drops the stringer & Kraps his Pants when he sees the bottom one
It was Choice for Sure!!!
She was C& R-ed to grow a Lil' more after the Photo & who knows, she may return another day to put one to Ole' Web
The year before last I was a-cleanin' some S-Eyes for the Old Folks across the Channel & I noticed Web was asleep on his back deck with a couple of long rods out & a half spent Brewskii on the table ~ well Ole' Raybob slips on over to the rod Web has stuck into my chain-link with a meatless S-Eye .. puts it on his hook with a handful of stones down da chops & sticks it back in the channel with his bobber under .. I wait about 10 min & tell a few neighbors, then walk around to Webs & wake him up with a cold one on the belly, once he gets over that he notices his bobber is down .. Ya can figure the rest out for yourself ~ Twas a Blast!!!
Dang .. just noticed this is the Cold Water MB ~ gettin' old & drifty for sure!
You can only fish and go to school about 14 hours aday so that leaves alot of time to surf the net. Especially when the rivers aren't exatly in prime condition.
I caught that salmon 1-1.5 miles south of millhollow park.......
Went back 3 days later and found 2 groups of salmon spawning (nothing of real size-all 10 pounds or less). I heard that last year a ton of salmon were caught up by route 2 bridge area.
