JoeG, with your close proximity to Erie, I'd have thought you like smallmouth bass.

NE Mason, you might not have as bad a time with herons with the HSB as the HSB are not really shore huggers, but more of an open water fish.

I would go for it full force. It's a crazy fighting fish.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
