Yeah, I forgot about the beard thing.. I think you made a wise choice Mr.
Steve! Very nice fish too might I add. I'll be up your way here in about
11 days 12 hours 45 minutes 15 seconds, lol, for my annual U.P. Smallmouth
and Pike trip! I would imagine the bass are in Pre-spawn mode pretty hard
right now aren't they?? I sure hope I time it right this year up there.
Last year, I missed the "Big Bite" by about a week, but still bagged some
nice post spawn Northerns.
Anyway, again, nice fish!!

I've been working a bunch lately and not nearly fishing enough, so when
my friend and guide service partner Gil called today and asked "wanna go
fishing?" I jumped at the chance even though it was a lousy day for
fishing. We're at the beginning of a cold front, 52 degrees with winds
from the east gusting to 30 mph. The water temps ranged from 59.4 - 60.8
at the lake.
