Big Bass and the Yard Dogs

Yesterday was a great day. It started with me catching Bass No. 3. This one was about 17-18 inches and probably weighed about 5-6 lbs. Unfortunately no pictures, because I left the camera in the house and Susie wasn't available to bring it to me. So this becomes an undocumented fish story, but it's true! This guy really fought and I didn't think I'd be able to get him onto the dock. Our neighbors were out and saw the fish and were very impressed! I now have a tape measure and a gripper/weigher that I will have with me whenever I go fishing, along with the camera!

In the evening we took Susie's best friend, Jeanette, to Icabod's for dinner and the Yard Dog's show. Jeanette is hard to describe. She's a pretty blond, quick witted, a bit quirky, and very sweet lady. But she hangs around with Susie, so that should tell you something! She enjoyed the Yard Dog's very much. They put on another great show and the sound was very good at Icabod's. Icabod's is a different kind of venue for the Yard Dogs. We're more used to seeing them play at Tiki Bar kind of places and usually overlooking some water. But the audience seemed very receptive and they'll probably be making a whole new set of fans at this venue.

Today, we just took it easy. Spent about half the day sitting out on the dock and throwing my little lure into the water, hoping to catch that big one again. And we fed the local little striped fish some bread. Started a feeding frenzy. I'm going to focus on catching one of those and getting some pictures for a positive ID.
