Baithead and ripnlips on LOZ

Tony talked me into going about the time I had the last fish cleaned. Wanted to make sure we had a slim idea of trolling crankbaits before next weekend at Mark Twain. Twisted my arm but off we went. Started out really putting the hurt on Tony, then kitty kitty big kitty takes my new favorite lure away from me and leaves me hanging. Rule no 300 never just buy one crankbait cause you will lose it when it matters. After that it was oh I have another one for you to take off my lure cause I am the captain. Well time and again I take his fish off cause I am just a nice person, then I find another favorite lure and catch up. Ended up with plenty to clean and a fun day and I get to start looking for the cranks that I lost. Really hard to complain about a good day fishing with a good friend.Attachment 271108

Looks good nice job

Enjoyed the report and pics.

Good day :ThumbsUp

Excellent!

way to go guys , some good looking slabs there . about what depth were you running cranks ?

The one I was pushing with a 2 oz weight at 1.4 mph line counter said 24 ft. so I am guessing 18 ft or so. The one I was pulling with just a long cast and let line off spool I am thinking 75-90 ft. back. Shiny shad patterns did the best. Shad balls were in the 15-20 ft. range a few times when we would go shallow I would start tikin bottom around 18 ft. One weird thing was we marked alot of fish in the 12 ft. range but never caught one that shallow. They all came from at least 25 ft. Except for the kitty fish.

Nice. Thanks for pics.

Nice job

Nice job!

Smokin them reels, good report

pushing and pulling, good work! dang kitty's playing with your best bait!

Congrats on a nice day of fishing.

What arm of the lake were you fishing

Gravois arm.

Very nice! I was there on 7/15/17 and too saw the fish shallow on the graph but never caught one that shallow. I did however got a chance to see a few fish surface and think they were the same fish that were on my graph. They were carp/buffalo I believe. 25fow was our depth of choice as well. We fished the Linn Creek Area.

Nice mess guys! Can't wait to get back out on the boat with ya!
