Just An All Around Good Day - Part 1

So this will most likely be my best day on the water for 2023. Everything went very well. Caught plenty bait quickly. Caught a very surprising 38 pounder. That is a very rare fish in this part of the Illinois River. After releasing it I did end up with a nice dozen of fish for the freezer.

I divided the video into three different parts since it was going to be long. Parts 1 and 2 are of the normal sized fish. Part 3 is just of the 38 pounder. It was a great fish and deserved it's own video.
