that's funny my friend , to be sure it is some kind of roasting hot here in the sun that time of day . I have to say though some of my best days slinging crappie have been dead in the middle of the sunshine and heat .
but I have also froze darn near to death and about fell off the dock sliding on frozen crappie slime in the dead of winter too, slinging them like a tv fishing show

i use to love the summertime , grew-up in the country and worked outside till i was about thirty ....never even had an air-conditioner in my house until i was about thirty ( but the house was one of those big old houses with high ceilings and big attic )............but then i got an inside job and got soft.....and the older i get the more i dislike the heat....and the heat can sneak up on you and put you out of commission for awhile if you don't watch it......i am retired now and the a/c and i are good friends...........i enjoy your narrative and picture stories , they are fun to read .!

They all gotta eat sometime. Dedicated is the fisherman that can pursue them regardless the weather and prevail. Nice catch, great job.
