The redbreast are in spawning colors and are so much fun with an ultralight rod and poppers.
I was catching lots of little Smallmouth mixed in when I got this largemouth in about a foot of water. It surprised me for it to be in this part of the river.
After probably 15-20 redbreast, I put on a larger popper and decided to see how the lami would handle some stronger fish.
These smallies were a good workout for the rod and click pawl reel in river current. Wish I could have gotten a few picts of the rod bent almost double.
Quite a night! 5 smallies over 16" with the largest at 19" and the lami handled them like a champ.
