Sunil, I don't want to make what I did sound like is was more than it was. These were kids from families we know where in one case they are step kids with a disinterested dad and in the other case the dad is just never around. Not like I went out on the street and found homeless kids. I got a funny SMB story as well. Don't have any in my pond but one time on a camping trip in N. Minnesoat (lots of SMB) I witnessed something amazing. I saw two SMB that were herding a school of minnows into a small rock cove with only one way in. The bass were obviously chasing them toward the cove then they would take up position at the entrance and pick them off as they tried to make it back to the lake. I watched this happen every day for several days. I also agree with Rad, I spend a lot of time just sitting pondside watching life happen. Amazing!


Gotta get back to fishin!
