First Wisconsin Bass with Dad
Wisconsin Fishing

Hey fellas,
Hope you're having a great week! We had big storms up here in Minocqua, Wisconsin last night. My wife and I got rained out, but I was able to get out with Dad this morning and he caught SIX to my ONE... but mine was a 3 pounder. I forgot how healthy and fat the smallmouth up here get. Our Illinois river & creek bass are long and slender - still strong - but these really are footballs. We've been coming up here for years and it is just like new all over again: https://theminimalistfisherman.com/fishing-the-manitowish-chain-o-lakes-by-minocqua-wisconsin/
HOPEFULLY... hopefully we do well these next 10 days. We shall see.
(This one was in 11 feet of water, caught on a live leech and a black 1/16th ounce Slo-Poke jig on 8 lb test fluorocarbon.)
Have a great week!

Thanks boys - STATUS UPDATE: caught another 17" smallie this afternoon by the house - I stinkin' love it up here. Get this: 4 pound text Invizx and a Eurotackle Z-Viber. My son spotted the fish, I made a cast from the second story deck and she slurped it. My wife ran downstairs to net the fish. Team effort - hilarious chain of events.
Gotta prep for evening fishin'... fingers crossed!

Absolutely, happy to! So Status Update: the misses did NOT catch a good smallmouth yet. However, me and one of the boys did last night, and he landed his right as his uncle was kayaking by us and he snapped this awesome picture. This is a super cool father/son moment caught on camera... caught one more about 15" as well, pretty fish. Gotta get mama on some smallies tonight if the weather cooperates. Say a wee prayer for big bites for mama...
Have a great day all.
