Fishing in a marina harbor yesterday near Ludington, MI. Plenty of action for good sized smallmouth bass...between 3 and 4 lbs...but the sunfish were so brilliant that I can hardly resist posting this snapshot for the pure splendor of the color palette God chose to paint onto these little beauties.

Hope that everybody is enjoying the Memorial Day weekend...and keeping remembrance for those who went before us in the cause of freedom.

8" redear sunfish - even an artist would find it hard to dream up these colors!

We have a lot of Buntings around here (Birds) and they are the only thing I can think of to rival those little fish. God is a great artist and I'm sure he admires his work.
