Decided to wade a few hours last night at my favorite lake. Went to a submerged road bed that usually gets fish moving in as sun goes down, typically can get 4-5 decent fish quick. Spent an hour and not even a bite. Stopped at a small cove choked w vegetation. First cat w 7” Gambler fat ace blue/ black caught this one. (Terrible pic🤷♂️) Really fun fight bringing it in about 30 yards through the pads and grass and up to my ankles in mud trying to get to shore. Close to 4 lb. When I flipped it on the bank the hook was out. Ended up catching 2 more decent ones and headed out. A lot of stress in my life lately and it’s amazing what a quick adventure in nature can do for the soul!👍🏻🎣

JD, the best thing is a little water therapy to help with that 😂🎣🎣

It's good therapy, isn't it? After a tough day at work, sometimes I don't bother going home to change but go straight to the lake to wet a line a couple hours with the travel kit I always keep in the trunk of my car.

JD, actually, I really like the picture. The darkened background with the sunset; really unique. If it's OK, I'll copy it and keep in my fishing portfolio. Of course giving you the credit.

Wanted to post a pic because I really enjoy seeing what others catch during those stretches I can’t get out myself.
