Then I saw a large wake pushing a school of bait... I pitched my top water to the side and the fish made an immediate U turn inhaling the Lure.
Normally I would have put one this size back but the hooks were into the gills and he was bleeding badly.
I paddled over to another boat to see if they had an Ice Chest I could stash it in- they didn't but were nice enough to give me a stringer and take a photo
It was a beautiful day on the lake- I picked up a few smaller fish but nothing else photo worthy.
Came home, cleaned the fish, put a fillet under the broiler with lemon, salt and butter, and cracked open a cold Beer.
Its a good day!
