Could be

the last trip of the year due to warm water.
Got to fish with Steve today and man, did he light up the smallmouth bass. The highlight was him landing a huge one and when I wanted to film the action, Steve turned, ran up the bank and huge, and I mean huge black snake is right below him. I couldn’t blame him a bit for getting out of Dodge.
I did land around 8 fish and the brown pictured came from below the lower quad bridge.
The smallmouth bass and the carp will be my summer targets at the club and I am looking forward to the fall stocking. I hope for cool/wet weather in the weeks to come.
