"Bassin"

I decided to fish my uncles pond this evening for about an hour from 7-8, and am sure glad I did.  I brought with me my 5 wt, hoping to get some bass on a cortland popper I had yet to try out.  On my second cast, a small eruption engulfed the popper, but I missed the hook set.  soon after, a bass was to hand, and shortly after another one.  I ended up with 4 bass in an hour, and a sunfish to end the evening, all on the popper.  The bass were smaller sized, 10-15 inches, but still a lot of fun on the 5 wt. Watching the fish hit the surface was exciting as always, and made the perfect ending to my Friday.
