Rainbow 7/28 Early morning football

Pictures to follow when I get back from the ER... 6AM Heavy Fog, 73 degree air temp 69 degree water Zero wind Very little current Dirty and stained water with normal Rainbow post-rain film and junk on the surface. Daiwa Procyon 7' MH, Daiwa Zillion reel Suffix 100% 17lb Flouro Strike King Red Eye Shad lipless Started off with a vixen and a popper in 8 FOW on my 7' Loomis Bronzeback with moss green Power Pro braid. A few took a look but weren't hitting so I switched to the Procyon and the KVD standby, the lipless red eye shad in bronze. 2nd cast, a 4 pound smallie destroyed it. After a nice little fight, I got her in the boat. She was hooked really well and as I was working to get her free she jumped and buried the treble hook in my thumb. Since I knew I was now totally f**cked - and attached to a pissed smallie, I did what any of us would do. Cut the lure and grabbed the camera. Took a couple painful and crappy photos and revived the fish. What a morning. SO TICKED OFF that the hook was in my right thumb. I would have stayed and fished more if it was in the left!!!!!! Great morning. Fish showed 3/15 and 4/2 on the scale. Split the difference and I'm calling it a 4-pounder.
