Friend and client Bob Emmons joined me Tuesday for a fun morning on the Kennebec River. Light winds and a perfect tide produced this beauty on one of our favorite spots above Bath. There was a small school of fish this size smashing adult river herring. We also had some action in the lower river where they were feeding on sea herring and pogies..We caught them on artificial lures and eels. Always a pleasure to have Bob on the boat, he has fished with me for more than 20 years!. Sorry that his fishing partner and granddaughter Nat couldn't come on this trip, she would have loved seeing "Bumpa" reel in this big one.
