Canandaigua 6/10

Had a group of three book a full day trip for the Derby on Saturday. Picked up at 7am and started dropping lines about 7:15 about mid lake. Ran a mix of cores, divers and riggers down deep. Ten color was hot right of the start. Took a bunch of cookie cutter lakers in the 3 lb range when the ten color took off peeling some line. One jump about 200ft behind the boat and I was thinking maybe 5lbs. Luckily I was wrong and that fish held for 3rd at 6.4. Picked through a bunch of small lakers after that for about a mile when the down rigger pounded down. This fish held its ground pretty good and stayed deep for quite some time and even pulled a little line. Got it in the net and made the call to run in quick and weigh. The laker weighed in at 10.0 and started in third grand prize and got knocked to first in the laker division later that day and held there through the end. Congrats to those guys for keeping the fish buttoned and everyone else that placed. We ended with a little over 20 fish and had a steady bite all day. Ran out with one other guy this morning and found some very active fish right under a floating mass of vegetation. After an hour and a half of battling the weeds and the wind we called it a day with 4 lakers and a Brown.
