Trying not to hijack, but seeing the headline made me think of our earliest swim record (which used to be April 24th). We worked all day cleaning up tornado damage and the kids were hot and sweaty. it was 70 out yesterday and they took the plunge. On the surface it is about 47 degrees, but with the storm run off and my cloudy water, I can only imagine how cold it is a couple of feet below the surface! My older daughter could only jump in once and said that it sucked all of the wind out of her.
Those are great fish. I have seen some of my 3-year-old bass swimming around in the shallows, but have yet to catch one this spring. Any one I get will be a new record for me.
