Any good fisherman...

Any good fisherman would have surely made the decision I made tonight. It's TOO HOT to mow the lawn. I should go fishing.
I rowed our the boat out into the bay and in about 30 minutes caught a crappie, small bass, and then this fella.


In an unusual instance, I was without my camera. I had to have Kate take a picture with my phone and then go home and take a picture of the phone with my good camera.
I let the big boy go. I was super psyched to catch a large mouth bass this size in our lake.
I looked up the length weight conversion for large mouth bass on a few different sights and they all put a "bucket mouth" measuring 19 and a quarter inches weighing over 4 pounds! According to the MN DNR the average size for largemouth bass is 14 inches.
I always knew I wouldn't settle for average.

I had a blast and when the sun went down I mowed the lawn.
You can bet that I replayed the Moby Dick-esque catch of the day in my head a few times while mowing.
Fun! Fun!

Brian...it's TOO HOT to do anything so I think you made a good choice! (I thought your and my cameras were just an extra appendage of ours!)
