Aug 15 2007- Big Pickerel

A day out fishing with no company. Just me. Ah! The peace and quiet! And the fishing was great! First fish of the day is a 15 inch Smallmouth Bass weighing 1 lb 10 oz. Next fish of the morning was a beautiful 18 inch Bass. This one tipped the scales at 3 lb 5 oz.
Holy Cow! Next fish to come along is a huge Pickerel! She was 24 inches long & weighed 5 lb 2 oz. Not bad considering I wasn't even fishing for Pickerel. This baby came home with me to join me for dinner. This was my biggest ever!

Next in line to bite my lure was this 14 1/2 inch Smallie. Weighed in at 1 lb 5 oz.
What is this? Well it's my first Largemouth Bass of the year. It may not be big but it could be someday. It would be nice to see this species make a comeback. See you next week!
