I snuck away from work on my lunch break today and went fishing at a local community lake that's just a few minutes from my office. I tied on a 200 series Bandit in a shad pattern, and on my second cast, hooked into a solid fish. I hoisted her out and weighed her at 3.6 lbs. on my digital scale. The best (by a very small margin) smallmouth I'd ever caught there. I kept casting in the same area (duh!) and about 10 minutes later, my lure just stopped. I figures I'd hung up in the rip-rap along the shore until my rod bent over. I set the hook with a vengence, and the fish came straight up! She cleared the water by a couple of feet while I scrambled to get her under control. I finally landed her and after I stopped shaking, weighed her in at 4.4 lbs.!

I forgot to grab my camera when I left the office, naturally

Pretty good lunch break!
