I can only eat so much smoked fish and my wife doesn't like it so the 2 or 3 salmon I keep each year is enough to last me. I'm not a big fan of eating trout.

Honestly it was a bit slow for this spot but another week or two should be 75-100 fish days!

I don’t know about where you fish but the Smallies jump in the boat here starting in 2 weeks...

When they are defending nests you can catch the same 5lb bronze over and over again

These fish are staging in pre spawn mode right now, they won't spawn for another month or two. The warmer water pulls them in.

Almost forgot! My buddy was popping the hook out of a smallie and was like, "What the hell is in this fish's mouth!?" We took it out and it was a baby snapping turtle! Strange! I didn't think it was warm enough for baby snappers to even be born yet??

That must have been a hatchling from last year....Snappers generally lay their eggs around June and they hatch in July or august...  I think their growth rate is slow also.. A newly hatched snapping turtle would be half that size..

That's what I figured too, this fella was only maybe a half dollar size at best. I assumed a year old turtle would be larger than that by now?

Might have been a late hatch, perhaps September  ?  A turtle hatchling wouldn't have much time to grow before winter, and he certainly wouldn't grow much  during winter while dormant...
