tried Big Elkhart in the hopes of finding some of the big Smallmouth bass on Sunday morning. Bite was slow, hooked one nice smallmouth on a sandy weed edge in about 17' of water on a strike king baby z too on a ned head but it got off about 10' from the boat. Then tried a football jig and drop shot on the edge of the main lake sand bar that yielded just a few small largemouth. The excitement for the day came when I tried tossing a Strike King 6XD crankbait in chartruese perch and caught a 24" walleye! Also hooked another sizable fish that shook the hooks before I could get a look at it. Water wasn't as clear as Elkhart usually is, had some color I believe may be due to the storms that passed through the day before.
