UPDATE: To top it off, after I stayed up to make the post on social media last night, it showed up on Instagram but not Facebook. So whatever my hope was for taking the time to post, it was mostly for naught. Yes, that’s the kind of day it was!

Highlights of today’s fishing trip included catching some good ones! I boated 8 — and probably hooked that many more that I failed to land. At least 3 that I found & lost using a Booyah Poppin’ Pad Crasher, I was able to catch when I tried again with a pink worm. So that was fun. As usual, Gene caught twice as many or more than me, & a bunch if not all of his were bigger than mine, but not enough bigger that he wanted pictures.
Meanwhile, this trip also included notable lowlights (without pictures). Before I caught a single fish, one of my trusted rod, reel & chatterbait combos slipped out of my hands & into the lake — and I was too stunned & didn’t react fast enough to grab it before it sank. We tried unsuccessfully (so far) to retrieve it. Catchin’ all those fish took away the sting. So by the time I fell backwards into the lake at the ramp as I was trying to help while Gene was loading the boat onto the trailer, all I could do was laugh. Fortunately, my iPhone & watch seem no worse for getting a quick bath. I was also glad to have some dry clothes to replace most of the soaked ones. #adventuresinfishing
