Bass, Rock

Caught my PB Rock Bass yesterday trying to hunt down some Greater reds! We were tipped by some bowfishers from last year and seen a pic of what were either nice greaters or world record shortheads, so we have been watching the river very closely for the last month. We seen some shorts so we waded a long way up the river to a spot that had a deep hole, I'm pretty sure we seen some greaters actually jumping but none would bite. I did catch 2 huge rock bass though this one was the biggest, we couldn't get a measurement on it though as our stuff was way down the river in the truck, but we did take these pictures before letting it go again. It also had a scar on it's side probably from a northern or a bowfisher, poor thing.

I'm guessing over a foot and well over a pound, biggest one I've seen, we thought he had a decent largemouth on when he was reeling it in.

The rum river

The rum river had been my enemy for the past year. I have been fishing the upper stretches of the rum every time I'm headed up north. Most spots are around or North of Princeton. I have yet to catch or see any redhorse. Tons of smallies, white suckers, and rock bass if you guys have any tips I would appreciate them. I literally drive from the confluence on the mississippi past where it starts at mille lacs.
