Italian newlyweds, Domenico and Barbara were my guest in the glades today. Domenico is an avid bass fisherman back in Italy so he was really looking forward to this trip. He had never caught allot of bass and had never had any size so he was very pleased to catch so many fish and some really good ones to boot. Barbara had the hot stick for several hours before she retreated to the rear of the boat for some rest and relaxation. Funny thing is that she would not touch the fish no matter what. She caught some good ones but would not hold them for a picture. We were covered up by gators all day, but neither Domenico or Barbara ever flinched. Domenico told me that this everglades trip was exactly what he dreamed it would be.

Great fish as always, Shane.  Gorgeous area down there.

I like all the gators in the backround... just waiting.

Nice catch!
