We’ll get it with the boat one of these days…

Funny you mention that; a week or so ago, as I was walking the shore, I saw a real nice bass, about 3 pounds or so, sitting in about a foot of water, among the rocks, with its tail up and head down. At first I thought it was dead, but then I saw that it was just sitting there, still, and it was stalking a baitfish, which was hiding in the rocks. The baitfish tried to make a run for it, all I saw was a flash of silver and that bass took off after it so fast I barely saw it go. That’s when I knew that I didn’t have to worry about reeling a lure back in “too fast.” If a bass wants it bad enough, it can get it.

Rob,

Yep, and I wish someone would move that net; no one ever checks it so it’s just in the way and unfortunately, it’s too far out for me to be able to get to it in my waders.

I was trying to get my hand out of the way and take a quick pic before the bass swam away but as you can see, it didn’t quite work out that way – and it was a good thing I pushed the button when I did because right after I took the pic, that fish was gone.
