    Default First fish of 2020-and it's a good one


    Jeff and I fished a Barry County canal today hoping for some early season crappie. None were to be found but I did catch my first 2020 fish, a master angler bass that measured(as near as we could tell) 21 1/2" Didn't have a tape so we used my rod to measure. Only fish we caught. She bit a slider on a jig 18" under a bobber and Jeff nearly fell in the lake making room so I could beach her.Name:  IMG_20200317_105334859.jpg

    That is a beast of a bass. Nicely done.
    The canals have been a hot spot lately, for anglers...
    The fish haven't gotten the memo yet.

    Hey Steve,
    Is that like a Pollock without scales?

    Nice Fish Jerry,

    Yeah, I probably need to keep a tape on my belt. Not just for measuring fish but to keep my 6 foot "social separation". My truck is only 5 feet wide so Jeff has to ride in the back if we go anywhere.

    American bills are 6.00””.
    You can always slap a dollar out to measure with.
    However your solution was more along my thinking.

    Measuring the fish or making Jeff ride in back?
