Maumee River is only channel cats right now. I’m not complaining!

The Rapala DT6 has become my new favorite lure. I swear, right now the Maumee River is only channel cats 😂

On one of my recent posts, somebody was surprised there was somewhere you could slay channel cats on a crankbait. Well, I did it again. Sometimes I think that the Maumee River ONLY has channel cats and drum. Still fun to catch. Got a surprise smallie at the end when I was trying to sight-fish a school of drum!

The gar (two pics, same fish) was missing its tail fins. I thought that was interesting. The cats were liking my crankbait today while I was looking for smallies.

Technically only my second ever muskie, but was exciting reeling this one in! 41-incher

Was throwing a pink bucktail for smallmouth bass on a Daiwa Aird-X medium spinning rod with 10-lb. line and hauled in this beautiful girl. Only my second muskie ever, and I wouldn’t have gotten it in if it weren’t for my grandfather, who is a huge muskie fisherman, telling me what to do.

Couldn’t keep the drum off the chatterbait today. Got a smallie and a gizzard shad too! The Maumee River provided on Father’s Day. Can’t wait to be able to take my boy out to do this one day.

My grandfather thinks maybe a shad? I’m not sure at all

Edit: Caught in the Maumee River in Maumee, Ohio

This guy bit a chatterbait I was throwing a few days ago. Put up a pretty good fight and wrapped himself up in my line pretty good.

I just installed Yakima Baseline FX crossbars and my roof is not very flat or level. As a result, the rear crossbar is probably like an inch higher than the front. Will this cause any issues for transport when I strap it down with cam straps and bow and stern ties?

Went looking for bass to try out the fish finder I installed today, ended up with a catfish and two drum instead. Bonus: Rescued a cormorant that was stuck to a log by somebody’s old fishing line, and had a family of curious ducks watching me load the kayak back onto my car.

Wife and I took our kayaks out today, and while she read her kindle I pulled in a few largies!

The largies were loving the senko today

Did a little pond hopping the other day. Had two other bass that jumped out of my hand before I could get a picture lol

Caught 8 with a wacky worm setup, and caught my first two on my ultralight rod with a donkey tail jr lure on it. Not a bad morning. Could tell these fish get caught a lot though because they were pretty beat up. Removed somebody else’s rusty treble hook from one.

Grandfather took me out on his boat. These are just the highlights, lost count of all the dang pike we were pulling in. Kept the walleye, released the rest. Such an awesome day.

Had a couple of hours to kill and came away with these little guys. So addicted to this hobby!
