A Big Fish Story

It was a quiet Sunday morning and not many campers were aroused. Jon, N and G grabbed some poles and headed out onto the lake. Jon cast out a line and had a bite before he could pass the pole, so he set the hook and told N to start reeling! It was a fighter! When the fish broke water, N froze. Jon shouted "Reel! Reel!" Did I mention that they were in a paddle boat? Without a net? When the fish surfaced close to the boat, Jon reached down and grabbed it by the mouth! They paddled into shore, took a few quick pics (Thanks, A.L.) and released her back to the lake as she was full of eggs. Jon claims she was a 21" large-mouth bass! And my son, well, he was the envy of the lake!
