This year has been very tough for fishing the upper potomac. All the rain has kept the river in a 'barely fishable - don't even bother' status.

Good thing my BFF has the same fishing addiction as me and has no problem fishing in a driving rain when the conditions are finally good!

We put 33 fish in the boat in a few hours and I finally caught my personal best smallie at 20.5". I've been chasing a 20+" smallie for a loooooooonnnnngggg time. Captain Egghead put me right where I needed to be and a wacky rigged senko did the trick. I thought I was hung up on the bottom of the river until the 'snag' gave me a head shake and was off to the races. Good times!
