Day 1 What are the chances, Perfect timing

[crappeeeman]

So I was fishing on my friends dock yesterday and this boat pulls up and I hear hello Jamie. So I said hello how are you. It was a fellow member...Reelingmachine...we never met ever before and he recognized me from my orange jacket from his boat out on the lake. I recognized him from his voice because we have talked on the phone before. WOW I have met so many nice people fishing over the years but that chance meeting was unique. Now if he is out fishing and I am as well we will just have to put are brains together and catch some fish. As for the fishing my friend John and I were catching a few and losing a few. After dark I went to my other friends place and caught 11 or 12 walleye but they were all about 10 to 12 inches...no crappie last night but many rock bass. All those walleye I will catch again in 3 years when they are big enough to eat. Got wet by 3am storm but a good day/night fishing and meeting a new friend. Here is a couple pictures.

It was nice meeting you and your friend. I did not plan to fish all day, but to learn the lake more I decided to spend more hours. On the way back to the launch I saw a couple of guys trolling. Tired of casting and reeling (somehow) I decided to also troll a bit. Then my sonar shut down and I stopped to check cables, but it was just the battery. Then I looked around and saw somebody in bright orange...
Thanks for the tips. I need to buy few of those monster zoom worms you use.

Yes those 10 inch zoom worms are great. The bass just love them...also catch big walleye with them. Just got back from another night of fishing. Fished until 3.30am post the results later. Caught bass and walleye. Going to sleep now. Stay safe. Oh here is a picture of the bass from sunday night. It was 3.086 pounds.
