A lovely day yesterday hanging out at my Dads cottage in NW Indiana & I grabbed the first largemouth of the season. This isn't a HUGE fish, but it's a decent one for this particular lake.

My wife snapped a particularly nice photo right at sunset so I thought I'd share.

Doh!

Can you tell I'm not a fisherman?

All I know is: Once prey is on my hands...

I could use a hunter's course, and a fisherman's course.

Catch and Release. Keeps the population up.

Spinnerbait?

Rubber Worm. (weedless) The weeds are terrible this year for some reason..

I keep the small ones to eat, they taste great. I release the big ones to propagate, they taste well not bad but not as good and they are the big reproducers. Bass are fun.

good catch

That's a pretty fish, congrats. Actually would make good bate for a nice yellowfin. He He.

Sure beats mowin' the lawn, doesn't it? That is what we call a samuch bass. Yummy.

Congrats.

No bass for us yet but I did take the kids to a small lake I know of when we were down in Florida last week. In 10 minutes we had 5 bluegill. Decent size too. I thought the littlest one was going to piss himself he was so excited. No pics though.
