I caught 2 (yes...TWO!) big Giant Floater mussels today. One was just just the shells. The other was still alive, and I swear it was taking line out BEFORE I set the hook!


This is my first year of catching Bowfin. I caught 46 of them this year! I read that Bowfin are an uncommon common fish...meaning they are somewhat widespread, but not in high concentrations anywhere. So I'm pretty pleased with my past 6 weeks of catching them. My best day was 15!


I also caught some largemouth bass, a bluegill, green sunfish..and a Black Crappie and a feral Goldfish:


And a couple Common Carp as well... one gold, one silver.


I saw snakes, frogs, turtles, a bald eagle, white herons, and a pileated woodpecker.
