Hey all,

Smallie season is officially herre in Minnesota. Went out yesturday with three of my friends and floated on of our local rivers. I have to tell you you that it was one of the best fishing days in my life. The weather was perfect, the water was cool and we landed at least 150 smallies between the four of us. Most of them being in that 14" - 16" range.
We took most of them on topwater poppers or sliders and I took a few on my old standby the "flashdancer".
The only problem is that by the end of the float we were all too tired and sore to fish anymore. I know that my wrist and shoulder were plain wore out from all of the casting and fighting. To top it all off my thumb is still raw from lipping all of those bad boys.
If I couldn't drink left handed I'd really be in trouble.
