Decided to hit up the des plaines for the first time in a couple weeks. Took out a small John Boat with a trolling motor. Within two minutes got a small northern bout a foot and a half. About 15 minutes later got a small largemouth. Then I hooked into what i thought would be a huge bass but ended up being a nice channel cat. He swallowed my favorite rapala pretty good and had to bend my hooks to get it out.My fishing partner hooked into a big northern but as soon as it got close to the boat made a big flop and popped off. Great weather and a fun short trip. Saw a ton of bass and the fish seem to be very healthy and hard fighters. Going back saturday mourning.
