Went down after work for 2.5 hours hoping to get struck by lightning.  The Lake was just stocked with Jess's Ranch Trout, but I wanted to stay away from the crowds and catch my lightning!

It was a peaceful 2 hours with no one around.  I ended up getting a good bite and it looked like a trout at least!  As the line loaded up, I gave it a little hook set and felt the shaking of a head that didn't feel like a catfish!  Within 2 seconds... gone....

I recast and then a cormorant flew right into my line.  Soon as I rechecked, I saw a big trout flop right next to me realizing it was a bass guy casting his big trout swimbaits.  Guy apologized and was nice enough, but I figured the last 25 minutes I was going to hit the stocked lake.

Lots of people around fishing, but not many fish on stringers.

First cast and I didn't look overhead and caught a tree.

I put that rod in the truck and grabbed my second rod and "avoided" the tree.

Nada... Nothing...  Time to go.

I did paint/draw a new stone, but Imgur once again is "error": "Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later."

I'll put the picture up later, but another good "Sunset Picture".  LOL
