You should have kept that first fish. Very nice speckling on that one.

"Today there was a fire truck about 1/4 mile up the trail from where you got sick. A guy was on the grass being attended to by paramedics. You're one tough cookie. Glad you toughed it out and did not have to call 911."

the lil guy looked like that too at first :naughty:
usually the babies are more dull right? :D
For a small one that lil guy is spectacular. Most are much less colorful. There must be some nice nutrients where you caught them

hey midnight, what do you use for bait when you catch those tropical fish..especially like the pleco on the umbrella net?
And you said you leave your net on the bottom right?

When you pull the net up, are the fish gonna be able to escape? Or is that net flap thing gonna stop them?
