Early Morning Hybrid Hunt

[bigboy5522]

Went after some hybrids with my dad on the yaks this morning. Got bait and was at the lake by 7am. Slow trolled herring around and quickly connected with a nice catfish but not the species we were after. Pretty cool to catch one up high in the water column and not near bottom. Continued fishing and had a fish slam my rod and take a screaming run, I knew what it was. But after a short battle I lost him. My dad comes over and soon enough also gets bit but his drag was set too tight and the fish was gone. Had acouple more quick run-offs and ended the day getting a nice smallie and another smaller cat. Will be back soon. Alot of NJFishing members out there!

Looks like a great morning.
After an extended "happy hour" I got up too late this morning to get on the water before the storms hit. Unfortunately, according to the weather forecast, I think that's going to be it for my weekend.
