Congrats, that's great! I dont mean this negatively, but are they normally that skinny in that region? I dont have tons of experience and never hooked one, but they come out super fat in these parts (MT). Just wasn't sure if it's a regional or seasonal thing. Again, good job out there
DakotaUntamed Outdoors*@feralcat thank you! And yes, in this small stretch of the Missouri River, the males are pretty skinny. There are some others that are most definitely more thick. I would love to make it to MT to try and chase one of the larger ones!
