My buddy from across the street called me up out of the blue yesterday and asked if I'd like to try a little fishing in the neighborhood lake. I said "heck yeah, I'll be right over". Got a few things together and jumped in my buggy and headed down to his dock....where he was just finishing getting the trolling motor hooked up in his Pond Prowler.

We fished around all of the neighborhood docks, and caught a few bass....mostly dinkers...and "yearlings". We also caught several nice bream on our UL rigs.

On what was gonna literally be the last cast of the day, I hooked into this guy.
Certainly not a "wall hanger" in these parts, but not a bad fish either. When I hooked him (her?) I thought I was hung on a log for a couple of seconds. Then the fight was on! Again.....not the biggest bass to come out of this lake...there are several 10#ers that have been caught and released here.....but this one did "put a stretch on my string" and was a nice fish to end the day on.
