Attica

That smallie came on 4# test - was looking for crappie at the time. Solid hit - fish took some drag and at the same time I was fighting it, I had to keep a eye peeled for where the boat was - lest the boat and I go over a low head dam. Got the smallie landed & CPR'ed, moved 1 column over, next hit was a 16" LMB, and the 3rd column produced a 10.5" crappie....was a fun 20 minutes.....

MN has a season on SMB - opens emd of May. Regs vary somewhat by body of water. Some bodies switch to C&R in early Sept.

What kind of snake is that in your last pic?
