I said to myself, let's get an hour of fishing in this morning before settling in to work on various projects.
This guy was a chunky 18";about 3 lbs. I caught her out of the slop you can see in the upper left of the picture on an unweighted 7" purple/red curly tail power worm. I know that's bait fish size to you boys in the south, but that's a northern largemouth and they just don't grow as fast.

I thought you were going to say you can fap anytime you want without worrying about the boss walking in.

I hope to enjoy those benefits (well, I'll have to learn to fish...) when I'm self employed.
 Nice fish, that'll make a nice meal for two. |

HA! Good looking fish. Nice catch. You could turn him into a dinner pic. Win the contest going on in the team forum.

And after taking a look at the weather forecast I'm glad I took the time; seems like we'll be having thunderstorms here at least through Thursday. |

It's been storming off and on for the last day and a half, but when I finished a web seminar I was presenting ~ 1 PM I grabbed an ultralite setup with the smallest floating Rapala crankbait in a shad pattern and headed over to the pond.
In an hour I caught about 2 dozen sunnies, a bunch of small bass, one nice 1.5 lb bass and a couple of good size black crappie. One 24 inch or so pike fought me for a bit but I lost him about a foot from the bank. If I had known the crappie were going to be hitting and that they would be decent size, I would have made plans to bring a few back for a dinner pic This guy would go about a pound or so...

I've always enjoyed crappie on a light fly rig using a sneaky pete's or a hopper w/ a midge trailing on the hook. Good times. |

I can use a fly rod off my boat at my local lake, but the banks are too overgrown with trees to easily use a fly. It's tough enough with a spinning rod in most of the bank spots I use for these quick trips. |

Yep. Sometimes even a perfected "S" cast won't get you in under the cover. |

Very nice fish! I fish for smallmouth and goggle eye in our Ozark streams. I would be proud to catch that largemouth!

David, very nice! Did you catch that at your NE PA "bunker"?
Edit: oops, didn't see your last post. Guess not ... have to try and make the next SF event. |
