Glad you got some. Looks like Jeff had fun, too.

Yep, we caught some quality fish too. We longlined like I usually do where we fished, and caught squat. We spent most of our time longlining. So once we changed it up and targeted structure with the livescope, we finally caught some. We only caught 5 crappie, one bass and one brim, but they were nice ones. Correct me if I'm wrong Jeff, but one was 13 inches. And the other four I believe were, 12.75. 12.50, 12.50 and one 11 incher. And this time of the year, they fight real good. Was fun Jeff, have to do it again.

I had a blast playing with that livescope! Was cool being there and seeing him catch his first livescope fish. I saw the first fish Slab caught come up and take the bait. He said he didn't feel it just lifted and was there. The two I caught later came streaking out of the submerged trees we were fishing and smacked it. Kinda like playing a video game. Could be addicting...lol..those sizes were accurate and I think the cooler water put a little fight in them. I didn't get a pic of the brim he caught, but it was a nice one. Michelle and I had a great time and appreciate you taking us out Ed. Looking forward to seeing you again at the Michigan camp up at Houghton.

Funny how Jeff quickly had the front of the boat and the trolling motor remote!

Save your Cabelas points and you can have one of those fancy fish finders, too.

Can't wait to hear the live version of the play by play. Have a safe trip home.

Jeff,

Just think, your going to want all those toys, now that you have played with them........

We are going to have a surprise "Coming out of retirement" Party, and your going to have to give all your loot back...........

Electronics are neat, BUT, some days the best GPS, Chart Plotter, Sonar, Navionic's, Lake Master, etc, can't beat a day with Grand Dad, sitting on a bank, catching nothing.
