Fishing Trip #125 August 31, 2015 5:45 AM

Went fishing for about 45 minutes on my way to work this morning. Windy conditions most of the morning. Venus was bright in the eastern sky and a very bright post-full moon kept the fish feeding most of the night. I only had one bite and was able the hook and land the fish. Beautiful morning to be outside.

Weather conditions: 71 degrees, cloudy pre-dawn sky with 5 mph winds from the southeast.

• Caught 1 largemouth bass with an H2O XPRESS Shallow Running Jointed Square-Bill Crankbait. 

Catch and release.
