RECCE ROOM

My daughter recently caught a grown shiner minnow. It measured over 8" long. You don't find many of these in TN.

Wish I'd caught this one ... .

Seems a man just caught what might be a state record bass . Good catch! .

I never thought I'd see the day when Politics and Fishing were mixed. Unfortunately, our dear leader has decided to do just that. Link to article . It seems the Obama administration will accept no more public input for a federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing certain areas. This guy is just plain power-hungry. He sees government as a tool to control every aspect of life. That mindset is not only wrong, it is dangerous. Remember, we vote this November. Not for President, but for Congress - who still have equal power under the Constitution. We need to make sure that the Executive Branches power is nullified.

It's been too hot to go fishing. I've been too busy to go fishing. I want to go fishing. Might be that my last day fishing (over a month ago) I caught four bass - all legal limit size - and one catfish estimated at over 30 pounds. All on little plastic minnows. That was a great day. Add to it that my fishing buddy that day - one of my clients who gets to fish all the time - said I was "not too bad a fisherman." Oh yeah, we also used his boat. It was fun.
