...you can even catch critters like this freshwater clam:

It was the darndest thing...I was just bouncing the bottom with my jig and it must have thumped him while his shell was open and filter feeding. Here's a close up as he had a firm grip on the head of my jig:

Catching the clam wasn't the highlight of the day so here are a few more photos from what would prove to be a stellar day of fishing:

The day was pretty active weatherwise as well and eventually blew us off the lake in our tinny. Here's a couple pics of the clouds as they screamed by:

Here's one that looked like a fish...or maybe I just had fish on the mind that day:

We have a nickname for Perch that size when we catch them...they are called "Mongo" Perch. Kinda' silly, but we immediately understand :lol: ! We also love to figure out where these fatboys go around the lake. Some days you won't see a one...other days are memorable to say the least :wink: !

Glad you guys enjoyed the pics!
