I got lots to be thankful for today, I got to do a bit of fishing before heading up to my dad's house for dinner, plus i got to meet a new fishing friend, Warrenwho wanted to hit the water for a few hours. We walked to where I got some big bass last weekend, and started fishing with plastics. we got a couple of small ones, but no thanksgiving "footballs". I switched to a copper superBow spinner and hit some brown bass of mediocre size, then I hooked into a good one! It fought really good and I thought it would be a huge bass, but started getting suspicious when it stayed down and never jumped, finally got it in and it was a Northern Pike. We worked our way up and I got a few more small bass. i had to go around 11:30, Warren decided to fish a bit more and was rewarded with some bigger bass when the sun came out for a while. all the pics here... http://mtbucket.blogspot.com/2008/11/thanksgiving-morning-bassin.html

Our tradition is that of the first man who sneaked away to the creek when the tribe did not really need fish. ~ Roderick Haig-Brown, about modern fishing, A River Never Sleeps, 1946
