Got on the water at 6 a.m., and because I was with Co, we decided to troll for a short bit. During that time, he got a good-looking crappie, which we decided to keep. I also got a crappie, but mine wasn't a keeper. <br /><br />We then started tooling around at different places, trying to fish brush. We got some bites but brought nothing to the boat.<br /><br />Then we went and picked my brother up, who had bass on the brain. He then proceeded to annoy us by catching decent bass non-stop. They weren't monsters, but they were pretty sweet. The biggest was just under 3 pounds according to my brother's scale. He thought it weighed more and wished he'd tried my old-school scale to verify, but it was too late when he thought of that.<br /><br />He was using purple worms and actually lost more than he caught. Had his line break at least four times, while Co and I laughed. At the same time, Co was fishing purple worms and coming up with nothing, so I thought I'd be smart and fish those green pumpkin worms. Got a good hit that fought for a moment, but as I've not bass fished in a while, I neglected to set the hook as hard as bass require.<br /><br />(Edit: Looks like I did catch a bass. Or at least that's what he'll be soon. Hahaha…)<br /><br />Oh well.<br /><br />Was fun out there, though I did feel like kicking my brother out of the boat for catching everything. Hahaha…<br /><br />The good news is that fishing wasn't the only great thing. Not only were we on the water, but we saw some super rad stuff: a beautiful sunrise (The heavens declare the glory of God - Ps 19) and a doe and fawn on a tiny little island. Which had Co and I wondering…did those deer swim to that tiny island? Anyone know anything about this?
