Vaughan, Ontario

Just passing by one of my favorite parks after work. Got this beautiful Largemouth

Although I couldn't make it out for the kayak trip with you guys, I still found an hour to sneak away to a neighborhood pond. With such a short window to fish, I treasured every cast. I checked my equipment carefully, selected the lure I trusted most, and worked it with patience and precision. Rather than rushing, I methodically targeted every likely holding spot: lily pads, fallen timber, and hidden underwater structures. Each cast carried a bit of hope, and every retrieve felt intentional. As the hour passed, persistence finally paid off. A solid strike, a brief battle, and moments later I was holding a beautiful 3 lb bass in my hands. Not a bad reward for an hour well spent.

Perch I caught on some private property at night, mosquitoes where killing us and before we left, I hooked onto this 🤩
