First Fish for '05
The batteries on my piece of crap camera died before I could get a shot *>:(, but I caught my first fish for the season. Since I'm laid up until my bracket comes in, I took a few casts in the pond behind my house tonight. I caught a nice little chain pickerel. Healthy green and toothy - about 13 inches. He hit the popper I was using hard, jumped a couple times and was kind enough to fall off the Hula Popper as soon as I touched the lure, no stinky pickerel smell. The pond is full of the little chainies and (I'm no biologist) large mouth bass - nice size too. I like salt water fishing better than fresh, but I'd take bass and pickerel over flounder pretty much anytime! *;D
Next time I'll do better with the camera >:( >:( >:(
