I have actually never fished the Ohio River. I would like to, heard there's some big blues in there.
I had a really good trip all around. Caught crappie all over the place. Deep water in the brush, deep water suspended over the brush, and even hit a couple brush piles I know of in 6ft of water. All on minnows. I tore up the white bass, largemouth, and spotted bass at the dam all on swim baits and rooster tails. Also got 2 stripers but they were both small (18 - 20 inches?). I don't even know how many blues I got lol. I would say 10 of em broke 20 lbs, two broke 30 lbs, and one over 40. If u guys know the formula for the weight the biggest cat went 44 inches with a girth of 25". Found something online that showed weight by inches (it didn't consider girth) and it said a 44 incher would be 43.4lbs. Had 2 different spoonbill on at the dam but didn't land em. Those things are so cool looking. Jeans and tshirt weather the whole time
