Captain Rich got us into the fish right away
And in no time at all. Beau limited out in just fifteen minutes and with this fish he got his personals best....34" & 20.5 lbs.
Time to sit back an watch
I caught a first for me, a lake or rock sturgeon, anther species of prehistoric fish.
My personal best fish was 35 lbs.
I also caught a small paddle fish to conclude another great day of fishing on the Mississippi.
A quick stop down to the JCI shop and a few layers of paint
a little golf while the paint dried
Early start down in the Sugar Shack Sunday morning.
I had maple venison with a fried egg and american cheese on a Japanese salt bun
Beau an Anabel came back down river to clear coat the JCI truck
Susie and Nazhoni came down too with a few treats for me and to enjoy some tasty coco.
It's always so nice to have a few helpers down in the sugar bush and even better when it's family!
It's close to being done as the twilight sets in.
So it's time to shut things down for the night
And finish up this batch
and the 2026 sugar season
