Just yesterday (Friday August 11, 2017) brother Paul and I got in a fishing trip for some Smallmouth Bass. We were very successful for such a hot hot day. The lake was perfectly calm and we had just a touch of breeze. We could only fish into the breeze - it was too hot otherwise. 

 We had one visitor on board - with a very co-operative dragonfly. It was huge and he let us move him around everywhere so we could get some interesting pictures. 

 Paul ended up with what may be the "lunker of the year" with this baby. It was huge - and probably the first fish larger than Bizzy. He was a pretty happy camper as it was his largest smallmouth in probably 35 years.   

 He gently returned him to the water for future generations of fish and fisherman to enjoy...
