Started out on the lake at about 9:30am.Right off the bat I marked a school of some nice sized fish from 25-40 ft down so I put a Cultiva rip n minnow down 30 ft on a downrigger.No more than time to sit down when bam! line is yanked out of the release and reel is screaming out line.I fought the fish to the boat several times, while I was reaching for the net the plug popped out of the fish's mouth.This fish was a mid 20's rainbow.I figured that would be the only decent fish for the day.Man I was wrong.I put my plug back down where I had it and about 15 minutes later it is jerked out of the release again.This time I put the net under a 20 inch German brown.I am feeling better now.I trolled around a few more hours catching some decent bows,the bite dying off at times, then once again about 2pm bam! line is yanked out of release again and reel is screaming.After a 5-7 minute battle I slip the net under a 23 inch brown.I ended up keeping 3 badly hooked rainbows in the mid teens and 2 decent browns.Pulled the boat out at 3 pm and headed over to Potholes res.
