The question inqiring minds what to know is... did you notice any change in the fishing during the totality? Or a few minutes before and after? Birds stop flying (if there were any)?

If I had my boat in the water, I would have had a few underwater cameras out there to record what was going on. That will start here in a week or two.

Most females were spawned out? Wow, that's early. The spawn goes on for weeks, but this year since the water got warmer much earlier, I would think the spawn is a good two weeks or so ahead of an average year.

The eclipse was truly awesome. Probably the most incredible natural experience I'll ever have. I saw it at a point in the middle of it's path, so I had the maximum totality time. It would have been great to see it like you did, out on the Lake, but I wanted to be at the centerline for maximum view.
