I’m 5 min from that bridge y’all put in at, & that little stretch is one of my favorites when I’ve only got a couple hours to fish. That spot where the power lines cross is always money. 20”+ fish are in there, but they’re not easy to find. An 18” smallie there is very brag-worthy. Glad y’all enjoyed our beautiful river!

We jokingly call Illinois River Smallmouth "Meth Bass" for how hard they fight. Horsing in a 21.5 incher on 8 lb test and spinning gear is a blast.

You and Creek Fishing John - Found you via him. I hope you two can combine on other trips - And being only a couple miles from the Illinois River myself, it's good fishing. I have a question, I see a lot of tournament fishermen using a left-hand baitcasting reel. But I suspect most are right-handers. Is that just because it saves the step of switching hands after the cast? Probably a Chesnut Lamprey. There is also a brook lamprey in OK.

@thecreekcrawler

3 ай бұрын

We definitely are going to fish again!! I would love to live close to that river! I have always used a left handed reel. I am a righty though. It just seems natural that way for me. I believe you may be right for the brook lamprey. We have them in Ohio

Hell of a PB Crawler! Congrats man!

Do you just straight retrieve that trace or do you put some action on it with the rod? I've got a trace and never caught anything on it.

@thecreekcrawler

I put action on it with my retrieve. If you notice I will vary my retrieve speed. This makes the bait swing wide left and right and come to a stop. It gets them fired up!!
