I took last Thursday off to take my nephew out to our 12 acre private "lake" on the farm. We were lucky to get some excellent weather, though the wind was a bit strong and made it a bit of a chore to keep the boat headed in the right direction.

We caught a bunch of bass. No trophies, but they were a lot of fun. This was the first time this year they've really been hitting. The picture is of my nephew with a nice little bass he had just hauled in.

It was a lot of fun.
