Larry W. and his wife Mary Jane were so kind as to invite me and Larry D. up to their family’s cabin in the pines. On the private lake the fishing was excellent as the large mouth bass were hitting well almost every day. We were joined by a bald eagle who observed us closely and snatched up bluegills we tossed to him. That was the icing on the cake! For the eagle video, go to:

First bass. A sign of things to come…

We each caught one keeper on Tuesday. They were delicious thanks to Larry W’s culinary skills.

Larry W. got a real nice bass…no mo’ blues!

The #1 method for big bass was using small panfish for bait. I caught 6 like this on Tuesday.
