Big Fish of the Day-Oct 4 2005

Tuesday was one of those days where the sun was shining, the lake was calm, the fall colours were beautiful, and the temperature made it up to 28 C. However; the fishing was very slow. I only caught 1 fish. It was a 2.3 lb Smallmouth Bass, caught on a pumpkin coloured tube jig.
