Ran out to horseshoe lake for a quick early morning fishing trip. I hit the lake at about 6 AM and was reloaded and on the road at 9:15. All the beds at the North end of the lake are all deserted now. So made one slow pass up the west side and boated a bass 21 3/4" long. My scales are lost but she was at least 4 1/2 pounds. A great fighter too. Stripped line 4 times, jumped all over the place, just a great fighting fish. I used an f11 floating rapala. It was the only bass I landed but I didn't have a lot of time.
