Grand River

Nice smallmouth I caught on a shad lure

Brown black or yellow bull, I’m colour blind 💀 One of the longest ones I’ve caught here. Swallowed the hook and took some rolls in the dirt so can’t really see him for what he is but.

First ever fishing in November! Got a decent bass after only getting gobies and rock bass for the last 3 trips

Danny vs. Grand, round 2, fight! Cold morning, I jumped off at a road side spot and started blindly casting my newfound love, the Ned. Within a few casts, I hooked what felt like a piece of driftwood. A pike showed itself and barely fought due to the cold I assume. Forging on, I waded upstream in progressively shallower water until I hit a golf course and turned back. I went down the road to Snyder's flats and tried all 3 ponds for a bit with no action, then made my way to the river again. Down stream turned into shallow fast waters again, so I went upstream after a couple of kayakers informed me of the deeper waters. Aside from the many tiny gobies and occasional babies, I didn't really see any big bass. At one point with water deep enough that I couldn't see the bottom, it happened. This beast of a SM took Mr. Ned and gave my arms a workout. He barely fit my little trout net and came out just a hair over 4lb! Definitely my PB SM. A few casts after, still with a leftover dose of adrenaline in my veins, another one hit around the same spot! Although it came out a bit smaller, at bit over 3.5lb, this guy made my arm sore with his runs. I spent around 8 hours exploring (wading through a LOT of unfishable waters) and came out with 3 nice fish.

Dink bucket-mouth, only spent 30 ish minutes there not even.. worth it.
