At our local pond last night for a little evening and night fishing.  Caught 2 nice Crappies, on tiny Ikas, tipped with a Crappie nibble.  3 fair size bass, all on either a Ragetail Anaconda or a Ragetail Toad, both Texas rigged.  But the surprise came when I saw something swimming in the water and thought maybe it was the Muskrat that lives around the pond.  I threw a black Jitterbug past it and pulled it toward the critter but to my surprise, when the Jitterbug got to it, he hit it. I proceeded to reel in what turned out to be a 3 1/2 foot Northern Water snake.  Fortunately I didn't have to worry about taking it off the hook as it fell off right at the bank when i lifted it out of the water. All in all, a fun summer evening.

Sounds like fun!
