Great Day of CT River and new PB
Message:
I hit up the CT River today and had the best day of the year so far. Found a good spot thats filled with some big fish and I caught almost every species today [i:3a5dc39254]except[/i:3a5dc39254] a striper. Got on the water at about 10ish and fished till 3. Water was murky and in the 50's..light wind but nothing major. For pretty much 4 out of the 5 hours I fished today, I used my favorite crankbait and it was HOT. It was a 5 inch excalibur red crankbait. Within the first hour I caught my best LMB of the day, 16 inches and a little over 3lbs.

Soon after that I boated a crappie, then came a catfish! Yes, I caught this catfish on a crankbait while diving deep. This thing was a monster 13lbs and 24 inches...

It was 23 inches and fought like a champ! [img:3a5dc39254]http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/7099/photo6mw.jpg[/img:3a5dc39254] Then a little sunny lol. Didnt think we needed to see a picture of that...The crankbait I was using was hot...then soon around 2ish I got a HUGE hit and my line snapped....it was definitely a pike and was probably close to if not bigger than the one I caught...Unfortunately I lost my favorite lure. Fished for the last hour and didnt catch anything so I headed out. In all I boated 4 LMB, 1 Crappie, 1 NP, 1 Pickerel, 1 Sunny, and 1 Channel Cat. I lost a few hooksets on some Pickerel and Pike but I really had a blast and found a great spot on the River...
