Started big long posts multiple times and lost them (on cell). Condensed version...

Two more quick trips. Broke brand new semi expensive rod when unloading rhino on first trip. Replaced with other rod. Christened it with LMB in the 8-9 pound range (wife suggested 10, but don't think it was quite that big) caught on 1/16 oz johnson silver minnow with pink berkely nymph on hook. Had good luck on bluegill using brownish panfish magnet (which doesnt look like much but really works).
