First Smallie of the year!!!

[muskiehunter]

My buddy and I went out today to see if me could dredge up some Smallies and we caught a few of them and a few small pike.

This was the biggest one of the day and it feel victim to my Opie Tiger Flat Rap



The best part of the day I think was taking my buddies Z21 Ranger out on the main lake which had 5 to 6 foot waves. The fastest he could get to go was 46 mph anything over that and we got the snot beat outta of us.

In the river we got it up to 76 mph which was the fastest I've ever went on the water.

It takes alot of practice.

My Buddie took the pic and I couldn't get it flipped the right way

I forgot to mention this in the first post.

I have nothing against Lucky Craft baits matter of fact I use them quite often because they flat out catch fish.But today my Rapala's flat out kicked LC's tails.

nice fish Steve!!! Have you used that pattern before or was this your first trying it out?? Must be a nice feeling to come up with a pattern you think will work and have it end up catching you a fish like that!!

For me that was the first time using it and it worked really well.A few of my buddies have been using it all spring for walleye's and have had really good luck with it.
