An Afternoon At The Lake


It was early one Saturday afternoon. My family and I decided to go fishing at one of our favorite lakes. We got there around one o'clock. It was slightly overcast
that day, but it was still very hot. We all found a good spot and started to fish. We were fishing with nightcrawlers and live minnows that day.

I hooked on my minnow ,and cast it out a few times. I saw as I reeled it in, that there was a bass following it, but I could'nt see how big it was. I cast out again just a little further with the hopes that I would get that bass.

Sure enough that's exactly what happened. I started to reel my minnow back in when I felt a tug on my line. I stopped to let him get a good bite. When I felt another tug, I set my hook and started to reel it in. It put up a pretty good fight, so it took a couple of minutes to reel it in, but it was worth it because it was the biggest bass I had ever caught. It was about 18 inches long and about three pounds. It was a nice Large Mouth Bass.

That was the only bass we caught that day. We fished until evening just catching small rockbass and perch. We were getting ready to call it a day when my wife got a bite. She said, "this is no rockbass." She was right it was a nice bullhead catfish that was about 14 inches and about two pounds, but that was just the start she cast back into the same area a few more times. She caught three more small catfish.

Then it started to thunder, so we packed up our tackle and headed home.

That was a very good day at the lake.
