Jeez Bruce a 10" RES, I can only dream of the day!
Every time you don't carry a camera you are almost guaranteed that something will happen that you wished you got a photo of!
I was very surprised when I caught my RES on the small Roostertail lure. It was a small RES probably 6" or so but was fun to catch none the less. At first I thought I had snagged some Elodea, the RES didn't hit the lure like a LMB or a GSF. Once I started reeling though that's when it began to put up some fight. I was surprised because I didn't think I'd ever catch a RES on a lure - go figure. Those small mouths make getting a lure out a challenge - unhook the fish, hook my finger, unhook my finger, hook the fish, unhook the fish, hook my swim trunks, unhook my swim trunks, hook the kayak seat, unhook the kayak seat........
