Thing is that the Mormon could have had a dozen wives. I think some of them still believe in more than one wife.

I carry concealed all the time. I have a small 9mm, Kimber Micro 9, that I carry in my pocket. Nobody has ever asked if it was a gun in my pocket. I do have a concealed carry license as well. I'm one of them old Marines that still prepares for the worst and hopes for the best. At home I keep a Remington 870 Tactical locked and loaded with #4 buckshot. Some would say that I'm paranoid but I live by myself way back in the woods. 911 is anywhere from 2 minutes to 20 minutes out.
I was a certified NRA Personal Protection instructor and Chief Training Officer in my gun club. I hope I don't ever have to use my firearms or my training but I don't want to get caught unprepared. These are troubling times.

I fish for bass at night. The lake I fish is a large impoundment and there are houses with docks all over the lake. I fish mostly the lighted docks but I catch bass around the unlighted docks as well. Navigate by the lights reflecting off the water. As long as you see light reflecting off the water you're safe.
I use KVD 1.0 crankbaits in shad coloring and plastic worms. Junebug has been my most productive color.

One of those days that you feel like two cases of beer and two crickets. If you get a bite, move.

Let’s try this, going night fishing. You can take one lure, not two or three, one. What ya taking. Now you can take two identical lures in case you lose the first but have to be identical. What’s it gonna be boys and girls?
Texas rigged junebug worm for bass. Fish slow and noisy.

If you Google "Sputterbug" you'll see pictures of original Sputterbug lures. You'll see that some have skirts while others don't. Apparently the lures were made in both configurations. Maybe the skirt was added on in later years of production.

Back around 1964 I discovered you could catch bass on a rubber worm. Wow! The ones I used were called Fliptail worms. They were about 7" long and I only remember them being available in black and purple. I caught a lot of bass on those worms before discovering girls and the Marines discovering me. VBG! My "go to" lure today is a Texas-rigged 7½" Junebug worm. Still catching bass with them. Rapala minnows were available and good as well.

Yes, I got to figger out a way to mount the phone. I'm old and I can't handle a fish in one hand while fiddling with a phone in the other. I need to be able to get it done before the fish dies and without winding up in the water myself. After all, I'm there to fish, not take pitchers. VBG! I think I'll order one of them Weathertech cup holder cell phone holders. That should hold the phone.
I've come to the conclusion that what I caught was a Spotted Bass. A lot prettier than the Largemouth Bass I been catching.
Thanks Guys for helping me figger out what it was.

Don't know about a tongue patch. I just unhooked him, took a look at him, then released him. Other than the coloring there was nothing else impressive about him. Probably a small spotted bass. I think they have some in that lake but I'm not sure. I wrote a wildlife expert that used to work for the DNR at that station. He should know what species of bass are in the lake.

The dark area along the lateral was solid, not broken anywhere. Just a jagged solid dark line. Thats what got me looking, the darkness of this line. The fish was small weighing about a pound maybe. I release all the fish I catch.

The colors on the fish looked like the colors a taxidermist paints on a mounted fish. The bass that come out of this lake are a bit darker than those of other lakes in the area. I contribute this to the clear water. All the other lakes in this area are stained to muddy.
One peculiarity about this lake is since it's fed by a small creek the lake level will drop when we don't get a lot of rain. In order to maintain a full pool level they pump water in from the Ocmulgee River that runs past Juliette. I guess it's possible that the fish might have gotten in the lake through this method but I don't know if it could survive coming through the pumps.
