Fishing, food, fun, and THE BEAR!!(Part 1 of two posts)

Alright now, this is gonna be one of my longer posts, esp. the pictures because it deserves what it is.....Me and UglyStick put in a 12 hour day today......It never gets old.....I had a good feeling about today before we rolled out, something cool was gonna happen, didn't know exactly what it was gonna be, but just felt something.....So we started out at 6:30am and I told Jim, let's hit my usual 1st spot........Couple casts in....BAM!!...I nail a nice Smallie and it comes unglued....WTF is with me lately?.....smh........continuing forward I show Jim a secret bait and 1st cast....BAM!!....1st chunk of the day.....


.....we drift a little down and Jim yells HE'S ON!! I told him don't horse him in, play the fish. and asks me to net him...After a nice fight,Finally put Jim on to his best smallie of the year.....this was all I wanted to do is see him catch something nice all day.....and he started out great!!....



We both continue the day with a few more fish , bass, snot rockets and perch......bite was defiantely on plastics all day long.....





We hit this one weed edge and I have a good feeling when my line gets a slight bump, I set the hook, and this bruiser comes flying out of the water......



The day was shaping up to be pretty decent for the both of us.........we both caught fish......time for some lunch.....Mmmmmmmmmmm.......Grilled Chicken Cutlets with Lettuce,Tomato, and Red Onions on Fresh Semolina Bread with Salt Pepper, and Oregano, red wine vinegar and olive oil, and a lemon squeezed over the cutlets after I grilled them.....The Holy MotherClucker sandwich is what I call it.....I included a pic of the whole shebanfg from when I made it also....







Alright we gotta keep it moving and work off that food so back to fishing now......found a pattern that brought a few more over the rails .......
