After some house chores I spent a couple of hours on a local lake fly rodding from my belly boat. I’d forgotten how much fun these things are. I was able to access some water that is rarely fished on an otherwise busy lake. I won’t even begin to tell you about the fish that got away because you’ll never believe me. At least I do have a picture of the first bass I caught before I put the camera away.
Today’s catch made me curious about Ohio state record fish so I looked them up at the ODNR web page. Below are a few highlights, or you can find all the details here ODNR Ohio State Record Fish.
