The second day the weather was sunny and a little windy. The temperature was in the high 50’s. A perfect September day in the BW. We caught a lot of smallmouth bass, some of them in the range of 5 pounds. It seemed like every time I would throw my jig and a leech in, I would be pulling in another trophy bass. I wished the day would never end! We let all the fish go but two 2/12 pounders. We had a fantastic fish dinner that night. This is why I come to the BW! We capped the night with some red wine and had a cigar and retired early so we could tackle Brule early the next morning.
