Mansfield Hollow - 5/5
Message:
Hit Mansfield from 9am-2pm today. It started to rain in spurts today, and was super cloudy. I really thought that it was supposed to be sunny but guess not. Water temp was in the upper 50's and air temp was about 60ish or so.

Threw several Rapalas today from 4"-5" and a red Strike King crankbait. I landed a bunch of panfish which was really annoying. A total of 7 Yellow Perch, 4 Sunfish, and a Pickerel. My girlfriend landed two fish, a yellow perch, and a nice size LMB. It was 18.5 inches and 3lb on the nose. I was very surprised how long it was, and also pretty jealous because she had the lunker of the day.

My little 12" pickerel was the highlight of mine. You can probably see the tail was bleeding, that's because when I was bringing it in the boat, it was thrashing so hard that the bottom part of the crankbait hooked its tail. So I had to unhook it from a U...
The water was also low enough where I could squeeze through the tunnel and hit the lower part of the Reservoir. That's where both the LMB and Pickerel were hit in about 5-7 FOW.

Nice Report!
Real long tail section on that bass. Surprised it didn't weigh more this time of year.

Nice! That pickerel almost looks like a hybrid pike/pickerel
