A buddy came over so we could build a ground blind for him and his son. His son wanted to fish in the pond, and I need some fish removed, so it worked out great. Got the ground blind built (left over pallets, recycled barn tin for a roof and wrapped with with brown tarps) and Luke (pictured) caught 2 HSB, 3 LMB and 2 SMB. The one that he's holding is 7#, 1 oz and 25", the other one he caught was 4#,10oz and 22" the 3 LMB totaled 3#, 2 0z. The SMB were released, and they weighed between 2 and 3 pounds each.

The fish looks small, he's 6' tall and just turned 11 years old.........
