Well, the Maryland President and Senior Lease Manager/Guide and Master Canoe Controller joined forces this morning for a canoe trip around the lake. I have been itching to get out on the water instead of fishing from the shore. The bite was slow today but we were able to see more of the lake and land a few fish. Here's some of the pictures...

And then it happened. I had just told Dad that it was getting shallow quick and we should turn around. He insisted that there should be fish in the shallows and he was right. I could tell that I had a bite. I set the hook and I was very surprised at what was on the other end. My biggest Maryland Bass to date. As I ran him back the boat in hopes of Dad lipping it for me, it jumped and came down right in the boat. We couldn't believe it!

| Thanks for the memory Mr. Largemouth |
All in all, it was a great day on the water!
Until Next Time, Get Outdoors!
