Willard Cats...Past & Present

[MrShane]

Spent too much time looking for my pole, you can tell that by my gps track.
I lost it in a very popular area for bb’ing and deep diving crank/jerk baits so most likely already been salvaged.
But I had to try or would haunt me for many years.
Then drug tipped fligs at .5 mph, Freeway Bay Area.
Lost what was most likely a Perch, small Wiper, or small Walleye right at the boat.
Landed one healthy Wiper and one healthy Cat, both fought hard.
Then missed one more solid hit that I’m surprised did not stick.
My buddy in his boat fished same method as I, also in same area, and landed one Cat and lost one other good fighting fish he did not see.
He said it fought much different than his Cat so maybe he lost another Wiper.
Scheels was out of Chub so we only had nightcrawler to tip our jigs with.
Pulled rigs at 12:45 to get home.
I’ve got another Elk to kill to really max out the freezer.
Absolutely beautiful day on the reservoir!
