Took the Toon out at safe light. Fished a bunch of weed beds and caught a big bag of nothing. Found multiple schools of bait fish. Threw everything at them: top water poppers, cranks, spinners, etc...NOTHING! <br />Decided to head north and fish some deeper waters. Used a jigging spoon in 25-35 fow. Caught 12 drum, 1 crappie, 1 white bass, 1 LM Bass, and snagged a Paddlefish! Good Lord! That thing just about spooled me. I was anchored up and it took off. The two gentleman in a boat next to me(they asked if they could fish near me and we had a blast) were laughing the whole time. I finally got it up to the boat and saw what it was. I released it without taking it out of the water. It was a lot of fun. <br />I know the fish I caught were not tournament fish (except 1), but it was fun to catch 16 fish in an hour.
