Wow! Nice bass! Great to have that in your back yard. What were you throwing?

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

What an awesome fish. It's a rare privilege to cast a few before the daily commute and catch a trophy like that one. Did you release it or eat it... or do you plan to put it on the wall?

I catch and release all the bass back there. She's getting ready to have lots of babies. Caught this one on a Horny Toad. Great soft plastic bait. You can skip it under overhangs, crawl it over lily pads, or slow fish it on the top where it looks like a swimming mouse. This one fell for the mouse tactic.

Nice fish. I'll have to get the frog out and try it. Lucky you to have that for the back yard.
