Was out on Lake Wissota, in the Eau Claire area this weekend. The big gills were starting, but not going crazy yet. Next weekend if the water warms a bit I think.
Hooked somthing crazy big, stripped my blue gill rod. Like stripped it clean. Didn't even get a look at the fish. I'm thinking it was a big cat, but there are Muskies in Wissota. I was using crawlers under a slip bobber in 6' of water. I can only guess...never faught, just kept pulling. Tighted the drag completely, and it still pulled, got to the knot at the end and SNAP...gone. Exciting.
