      Report: Interesting day. Started trolling or smallmouth at about 3:00am. Caught 2 nice Rainbows at about 7:00am. But what made this trip interesting was the Largemouth I hooked at about 10:00am, using my downrigger in about 80 eet o water. This ish went over 8 pounds, caught him at 60 eet with a Castaic Gizzard shad. Fish DEEP and SLOW o main body points. They are down there, just takes patience.
