I went by the lake today to see how the

little bass were doing... the ones the hatchery

were stocking in the lake last Sunday.

I found them hiding in the grass along the shore.

They seemed in good shape, nice and healthy.

I don't think this one was really pleased to have

his picture taken. Or it might have been that he "felt the steel",

and missed a meal.

The little peacock bass were also out in good numbers...

Saw lots of BIG peacock bass... the 3 to 5 pound size...

but I was using 4# test and knew there was no way

to land those big'uns on my little Tenkara rod.

While I was landing this little guy a huge peacock bass tried to eat it.

I spoke with some fishermen who did land

some 3 and 4 pounders... using live bait.

Man, they may be small, but a lot of fun!  We're about to get our first snow of the year, and here you are catching bass in Hawaii!  You got it good man.
