Morgenthaler’s early defeat followed by a win

Chad Morgenthaler made a long run across Lake Ontario this morning, and it didn’t take him long to set the hook on his first smallmouth.

However, after playing the fish for a few minutes it came unzipped at boat side.

Morgenthaler quickly reset his lure, shook off the experience and hooked his second bass – a 4-pounder for a great start to his limit.
