So I walk into the backyard today after work and dinner to pitch out a bait a couple of times.  I decided to crack open a pack of swimming flukes that I bought a couple weeks ago.  This was the result on about the fourth cast.....

Gotta love how the fluke got all knotted up

One of the largest I've caught out of my lake.

Good Work! I love how you ran inside before unhooking her! Must be great living in the great sunshine state and have a lake in your yard! I want to give the swimming flukes a try but havent been able to find them locally...

Well it's about a 25 foot stroll to the back patio, that happened to be the best spot to A. grab a camera and B. show the kids.  That and I had to get a picture with the bait in her mouth, couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Great catch and yeah it must be great to have a pond right there

It didn't come cheap when I bought the house.  But man was it worth every penny.
