K3 smallies in the rain

Played Hookie yesterday to chase fish... weather / baro was crap, rained for 8+hours, and stopped the very minute we pulled up to the boat ramp. In spite of the difficult weather we all landed some nice healthy K3 smallies. Grant's fish was the highlight of the day. He was fishing a waterlogged black diver and was fishing it a few feet deep... all three of us happened to be looking when the fish gulped, best fish of the day fat nice tiger stripes 18".

K3 Smallie and Will's new river wheels

Will sent me two pix: a 19inch Kankakee river smallie and a his new boulderworks drift boat. Awesome on both fronts. The fish validates what Will's been claiming for years, that their are some big boys in the K3 system. And the boat... wow... the boat is pretty much the 911 turbo convertible of drift boats, and sits at the top of the drift boat totem.... I've only been lusting after this exact boat for 4+ years. Needless to say I've moved Will into my "favorites" on my phone, and will be harassing him non stop indefinitely.
