I've been fishing a lot lately, caught Yellow Perch several weeks back on minnows and red worms, on the Mississippi. Caught a mess of kind've small Crappie with my Daughter in a pond near my house on jigs with worms or pork rind. And today I took the boys Redhorse Sucker fishing in the river, caught a bunch on crawlers. While Sucker fishing 2 weeks ago we caught & released a Shovel nose Sturgeon and a huge Lake Sturgeon, they are out of season. My boy fought the big Lake Stugeon for 30 minutes and she cleared the water twice. When he got her near shore i cut the line close to her instead of wearing her completely out. It was the biggest one i've seen close to 6 feet long! My boy was a bit upset that i let it go but it would've took another 15 minutes of exhausting her, just to selfishly get a picture. I love spring time fishing, and i love river fishing because you never know what you'll catch.
