Bomba brother fish chronicle 2014

[Rappin Mikey]

I bumped into Rick Hern a few times at the canal over the past few days and he asked me why I hadn't posted any early season pics. Mainly because there really hasn't been any great highlights. The CT River run out in MA this year was pretty unremarkable. They came in late, left early, and were for the most part uncooperative. The average fish for me was around 15# and I think I broke the 20# mark twice. As mentioned above, I hit the canal a few times (nothing to write home about). I had my yearly trip out to Race Point that started slow, then picked up in the middle of the week big time and then fizzled out again. I hit a few spots in Eastern CT and slung some eels on my buddies Mckenzie Drifter (that thing was cool as hell!) And did a little fresh water fishing for LMB in the pond behind my house. Anyway I got a few pictures to document the year so far that I thought I would share. Disclaimer: I did keep two fish this year that are in this compilation of photos (however I saved two as well that is also captured on Cell phone pic) I hope you enjoy.

Here is my first fish of the year in the CT River, and yes it is a major spot burn. There was a decent herring run this year and the fish were pretty fat if you could find them.
