My 117th Species Ever Caught In Next Day!

Guess what I caught? That is what I expected! SHAD!!! I was totally crushed them! Fished at connecticut river on saturday midnight to 6am before I went to work. Caught over 100 shads. They was laterally competition on who get lure first! Every cast was hooked up. Even if I got unhooked, I'll get another hooked up in few second later! I lost all 12 shad jigs and I decided to give up to go home. It is no word that can explain this. Wish this spot was closer to my hometown then I'll go there again! No photos due to darkness!

Special shout for zack137z. Much appreciate that you helped me to get right direction for them! Thank you!

Haha, This river is pretty closer to you than me! I'll go there instantly because they definitely biting hard! But damn it, almost three hours away. Forget it.
