Sounds like you had a great day. Congrats!

If I would have only had 1 other person with me on Saturday, I would have considered fishing the river but several guys in my boat fighting the current all day makes it tough to have enough battery power for the trolling motor. It is also hard to justify fishing the same couple of areas over and over again for 8-9 hours. (If I would have known for sure we were going to bag several fish in those areas, I would have definitely fished the river.)

Lots of fishing coming up over the holidays. Stay tuned!
