Evers catching in howling wind

I can only imagine what it must be like on the main lake. The wind is howling. We are mostly protected. But even then it's hard to keep our flatbottom in place.
Evers just caught another short fish. This one he let have it for a long time, and then didn't pile drive him. He's switched to a medium-heavy rod and trying to adjust for the missed fish. It will be interesting to see if it works.
As soon as I type that he gingerly sets the hook and boats a 3-pounder. It could be on.
