Father's Day Catches

Daryl Lewis caught his 6 pound catfish with a piece of Father's Day hot dog

James Wade caught his 5 1/4 lb Father's Day Large Mouth Bass on red worms

AFTERNOON DELIGHT SPECIAL

Celine Fay caught this 5 lb 3 oz Largemouth Bass with a white swim bait fishing with Michael Loop on May 30th.

Tip of June: Sometimes it pays to improvise as some of the Fathers did this Father's Day.  Picnic food will sometimes do the trick as it did for Daryl Lewis with his leftover hot dog pictured above.  It's also not uncommon to catch a Big Bass off the bank with red worms and a small hook as James Wade shown above did on Father's Day.  Remember you can catch a big fish on a small hook but you can't catch a little fish with a big hook.
