Morning Fishing

(Griffin, Ga.)
I got up on a Friday morning. Me and my brother was going fishing like we always do. We was up at 7AM, got our rods and headed down to the 10 acre lake in the neighbor's back yard. Me and him walked around almost the whole lake. I say it was about 9 am when I was in the back part of this lake were the two little creeks feed it. That's when I threw my 6in. June bug lizard made by Zoom, and before it could fall to the bottom a largemouth hit it hard we fought for about 7 to 8 minutes. He was trying to get me under a lot of cover, but my old faithful bait caster pulled him out. When I got him out of the water, that's when I saw that I had caught the biggest fish of my life. So I did what any other good fisherman would do. I took a picture and weighed him and then put him back. Now I can get him again. 7lbs 3 oz
