Former Pastime

Prior to Blip and constantly taking photos, this pic shows what I used to just about every spring and summer day: largemouth bass fishing. Have not even purchased an Illinois fishing license this year.

The young guy (who I don't know) is holding an approximately 12 inch/one pound bass caught on a blue plastic worm at a subdivision pond. This is not a large fish, but enough to keep fishing interesting. The development's rule is catch and release, so all fish caught are released back into the water.
