Had a productive morning. My wife caught a nice large mouth and I found a cooperative female who posed for the duration of eating this snail.

She made me promise not to to put her on the internet with out being prettied up :rolleyes:.

Great catches all around. The Kite is a beauty and I love the close-up with the snail. The bass is also a beaut. I thought of you and your visit (last winter), this week as our temperature dropped to minus 32 C here in Ottawa. Boy am I jealous to see you out and about in a boat, fishing no less. It's only ice fishing here.

Thanks Rick. I was hoping to make a trip back soon but I heard that things fell apart for you guys with the land owners.
