Read it online. Don’t get me going on Rapala. Love many of the Trigger X panfish baits. They bought out the company & discontinued them all.

Matt:
Glad to see you/Josh get out for a fun night of fishing. Water looks pretty clear of weeds/calm in the picture of you holding your laker.
Had a nice hit at the Racino on Fire Link for $11,931 playing for just $1 a spin, since I was ahead $50. Continued good health and fishing.

6/6/2019 headed up for some shore fishing with justin for a couple of hours. was slow i lost 1 right off on a blue streak kroc then nothing did catch one smallie. when the sun finally started to come out i put on a silver swedish pimple to jig and try to provoke strikes. well just as justin was leaving for work my lure was a little heavier so i thought i had zebra mussels on not so i had 2 crayfish on the lure. wow. then justin left and as i got near shore i started to reel and freight train hit fish on i land a decent laker. on the very next cast i got done jigging and started to reel and the very same spot and i had a thundering hit and fish on and a huge one. didnt last long it rolled and unhooked. now it was time to go home. slow day but i still had a blast i was 1 for 3. mixing up my lures and colors.
big alewife in its stomach
2 cray fish caught

6/7/2019 headed north this morning with a short window . my 9th cast with the blue streak krocodile on a count of 10 when i got to 6 my line tightened up and my rod doubled over and my drag on fire big fish on heading south and coming up fast one jump 2 jumps and gone. i just lost a big salmon or steelhead. then for over and hour nothing with fish busting water out from me. then around 9 am it happened freight train hit and fish on and a big one. had big time trouble getting it to move off bottom and when i got it up a little in the water column it headed right towards me in the rocks ugh. he got in the rocks in 3 fow and then i saw him it was tank whom i been chasing for 9 months. tried everything to lift him up a little to get him in the net as i was prepared to step in the water to net it regardless of the slippery algae on the rocks. but as i tried to bring him and little closer he was out about 6 feet he got head shaking and making a run out of there and the rocks cut my line about half way to him. ugh tank won but at least i got him to hit today not just chasing. tank is between 15 and 20 lbs and is so fat what a laker. hope i get another chance.

Fished Bulwaga a couple of times last month, was kind of quiet so I've been hitting Otsego lake and did a couple of brown trips in Ontario. I may get back out there this week. My current boat is navy blue and has a Johnson instead of the twin Bearcats - at least for now.
