Threw a worm in the pond late this morning a few times and had a bite.  When I felt better, a couple of years ago, I'd go to the river or lake and bring home a limit of bass and stock the pond all winter.  We had otters then but haven't seen them for a couple of years.  Can see why they're called black bass.

 

 

That bass sure is black. That's my favorite hue in lmb. Anyway, it's a fine, sturdy bass, Alex, and I always love seeing your catches!

Your title made me laugh ! Nice bass too. 

I was tentative to open this because you took the robe off, but I'm relieved to see other items of clothing were added. 

 

Great fish! That pond in the background looks awesome!
