Yesterday Stace and i went to a new spot called Medina Lake. Its only about thirty minutes from the house, so i'm sure we'll be going back more often. Of course River loved it, as she does any place with water.

We fished all afternoon, mainly for catfish, and had little luck. I caught one small largemouth bass when we first got there, and we had a few bites. Fishing was a little slow.

We stopped at a place on the way out called Jim's for some advice on the area, and he talked about catfish as big as eighty pounds caught on live perch. We set out one of our heavier poles with a perch as bait just for that chance at a big catfish. To our surprise, this largemouth bass ate a live perch about as big as River's head (just kidding, maybe a little smaller), and we landed it.

We had a lot of fun experiencing this new place, and we will be back. On the way home we stopped at a little hole in the wall called Adolph's and had some food. One order of nachos, a burger and fries, a chicken fried steak and baked potato, and 16 dollars later we were on the road back to the house. I hope you enjoy the photos. They seem a little dark on my screen, so let me know if thats how they come on the blog. i hope not! c-ya.
