It was the end of August and we had fished all day. The fish bit pretty good on and off all day. We decided to make a whole day and evening of it. We packed lunch and supper and stayed a while longer.
As evening became darker, the fish were jumping wildly, eating bugs in the air above the water's surface. We had used night crawlers all day, and just before dark my son had caught a very nice bass on a night crawler, so we continued to use the night crawlers. He was very excited about his catch.
Soon, myself, my wife, and all three boys were catching bass one right after another. They were all rather nice bass, but we were just sport fishing this day. We took some nice pictures then freed the fish back into the lake. It was a great fishing day indeed.

As evening came on, the fishing got even better! We were catching fish of all kinds. My wife caught a unique fish too. After carefully examining the species, we found it to be a burbot. We caught large perch, sunfish, bluegill, rock bass, and crappy. What a great time it was! The kids were so excited because they were catching dozens of fish of all species.
I cast into a weed bed, and left my nightcrawler dangle. Then after about five minutes, I felt a huge tug and it nearly took my pole into the water, as I was not prepared.
I couldn't imagine what it might be as it darted and fought like a trout. I fought that fish for what seemed like forever. I finally got it to the side of the boat. It was a pike! A 42 inch pike! What a beautiful fish it was. The kids, of course had to see it and feel it, and then it was released and swam away quickly.
What a great day of fishing! If you would like to read more of my stories click the links below.
