Matt and I will edit more, Oh man what a trip it was but here are the highlights.
Trip - 25 miles on the Rappahannock in 3 days.
Conditions - great weather, but really low water, too much dragging the canoe.
Number of fish: lots
Fish caught; Smallies, Largemouth, Channel catfish, redbreasted sunfish, bluegills, goggle eye bass (red eye)
Biggest Smallie: John 20.5 inches (a solid 5-6 lb fish)
Biggest catfish: Matt - 25-28 inches
Most bream: Matt
Most Goggle Eye Bass: John (5)
Weirdest event - Matt through a small channel cat at me in the front of the canoe and one of its spines stuck directly in my leg, so the catfish was hanging out of it. This was revenge for waking him up with firecrackers at 6 am.
Closest call; almost sitting on a HUGE copperhead at our campsite
Funniest moment: Waking Matt up with firecrackers at 6 am
Craziest wildlife encounter: Matt grabbing a 20 lb snapping turtle by the tail and grinning like a 10 year old boy
Bald eagles sightings: at least 20
Losses: ripped my canoe seat and lost a 6.6 MF action St Criox rod and Diawa Samurai Reel (RIP)
Best Dinner: Strip steaks over the fire
Awesome time!
