Hachooo!...Gold Mine!

Pulled an all-nighter upriver.  Got bait pretty easily near the 895 bridge, and fished in that vicinity all night.  The bite was kind of slow, and allergies kicked my ass all night.  I did end up catching one good fish:

40# - 42":

I moved onto a flat that morning that was super active, but for some reason, I missed all three hookups I had.  These felt like solid 30#+ fish, and I fought each for 30 seconds to 1 minute before they came off.  When I've lost fish in the past, it happened right after the takedown.  So I'm not exactly sure what was going on.

It was amazing to see the run of fishing boats going upriver at daybreak.  Every 2-3 minutes, another boat would pass me.  One bright spot of the trip is that I scouted a spot that would yield a new PB for me later in the year!
