Back Home, Sample the Local Waters

I strolled over to one of my local lakes after the drive back from my parents house. With my light action rod and my trusty lures I landed 3 largemouths in the last hour before dark, with no short strikes or misses. Sweet! I wonder how long I can keep catching them this way before it gets too cold, its been in the thirties most nights for a few weeks.

I landed the biggest one (respectable little guy almost 12 inches long) on my third cast while answering my cell phone as brad called. I said "hello" and Brad answered "Hey John whatcha up to?" as I felt the subtle pull on the line, I set the hook and said "I'm setting the hook on a neighborhood largmouth". Brad was a little confused, but I explained the situation as I fought the fish, unhooked and released him. Man - although I wanted to talk to Brad I gotta stop fishing and talking on the phone, it really ruins the experience of catching those little guys and I'm sure its only a matter of time before my phone goes for a swim...

It was a beautiful evening and sunset, but sorry no pictures - Rochelle has the camera with her in Arkansas.
