I got off of work early and decided to go fishing with some buddies of mine. We decided to go fishing at one of the parks on Mercer Island. Earlier, I had stopped by Walmart to Pick up some Bait and a bass kit. On my first cast with a plastic worm, I caught a nice 16inch smallmouth. I then decide to fish a worm just off the bottom. My buddy Sam who came with me started catching perch left and right. They were pretty decent 8inch to 12in range. While Sam and I were catching perch, My other friend James caught and released a nice 16inch Rainbow Trout on a small rooster tail. All in all, it was a nice time fishing out there. It beats working.
