Fishin'

Had a great day of fishing today. My friend Eddie and I went to Monksville Reservoir. The place has a nickname; "Skunksville". We got on the water at about 6:30 or so and didn't really expect to get anything. Eddie started the day with a bass early on. I figured that would be it. We lit our cigars and I kept fishing but figured it would be a fishless day for myself.

At about 9:30 I got a hit and set the hook. I knew I was into a good fish when all of a sudden, he got off. I reeled in my worm (plastic worm- not live bait) and had to fix it then cast right back into the same spot. As soon as the worm hit the water, BOOM, he was back! This time I set the hook better and reeled him in. Boo Ya!! My first large mouth bass in a long time. It went about 2+ lbs. We each caught another bass (my second being the smallest bass I ever caught). A big thank you to Eddie for the trip on his boat and for taking the picture. Well, four fish in about 7 hours at Skunksville, I'd say we killed 'em.
