My first smallmouth bass and trout in NS! (pics!)

My stay up here in Nova Scotia just keeps getting better and better! On Tuesday, Justin and I took his bass boat and went fishing on a different lake to try our hand at catching a couple fish there. Justin started out the day by catching a 14" smallmouth and not long after that I caught my first trout! It was only 10" long but keep in mind that it's a native, not a stocked trout like I'm used to catching. I was SO proud.

After that, Justin caught a couple nice bass and I wasn't catching anything so I switched over to a lure similar to what he was using and within a few casts I hooked my first smallmouth ever! 17 1/2" and 2 pounds 10 ounces. Talk about a fight! Whew! I never knew bass put up a fight like that, I can't imagine getting ahold of a real big one!

Justin and I caught a couple more bass, the largest being mine which was another 17 1/2" smallie weighing 2 pounds 12 ounces. We had such a great day..... I'm hoping we go again today, and the day after that, and the day after that! I'm hooked!
