*Angler:* Christian B. - Minnesota **Date/Time:** Saturday, May 12, 2012 - 07:05
**Catch Location:** near Rochester, Iowa **Description:** Hit the water early targeting crappie/pike. We found plentiful perch in the SW corner of the lake, but only a few were keeperrs. Rache brought in two fine crappies on the nightcrawler chunks we were using, and I added a couple of gut-hooked 6" gills to the bucket. Ended up having a fair bag of two craps, two gills and five perch. The baby largemouths were a real nuiscnce; they accounted for at least half the total catch. We went exploring for pike later in the morning with no luck, but noted canoe fishermen pulling in decent bass on crankbaits off the NW shore. Overall, great action and a fun day. Total fish count for myself estimated roughly at 50.
