man, today was wild! woke up super early, like 5am, cause we thought the rain would chill out but nope! torrential downpour the whole time! but we went anyway, ya know? got the rain gear on and hit the canal in Chicago. surprisingly, the fish were still biting! caught a couple catfish and a nice pike around 5lbs. used a heavy spinner with some stinky bait from the tackle shop. at one point, I swear I was standing in the water up to my knees and still pulling them in. the wind was light but the rain made it feel so alive. had a blast despite the weather! headed back after a few hours, soaked but stoked. got back around 10 and the sun came out! crazy day!
