After meeting up with CrappiePro for some well given tips and seeing him catch a few, I took off in my own direction to seek and destroy a limit.

Destroy I did, a brand new MinnKota Edge trolling motor bit the dust after I jumped the boat off of one of the FEW stumps in the area.:D I didn't see the stump in front of the boat and when she came off the one I was hung on, the TM took the brunt of the impact and snapped like a toothpick!

Looks like I get to go sell some cans and purchase a new one, unless one of you guys have one you'll sell?

Either way, Russ was off to another great start, don't know how he finished the day however. Before the "stump" breaking session, I caught two nice ones and a medium size one and SEVERAL smaller ones. Fish were biting well and no doubt a limit of nice fish was in the future until the mishap.

Thanks again Russ for the invite and I'll let you know when I'm available again.
