Central Ontario, 1977
The older cousins were going to another lake with their dads to fish bass but there wasn’t enough room for the younger cousins
The two boys were disappointed they couldn’t go, but they realized it wasn’t they’re turn and the boats were very small
The fathers and the older cousins took off for the other lake.
The young ones said lets just fish here, they knew the fishing wasn’t as good as the other lake but they knew anything could happen
The two young guys started down the shoreline just before dusk, right in front of the cottage
They were casting fake frogs up against the shoreline, they were only a couple hundred feet from the dock
The frog landed a foot from shore and there was a explosion in the water
This was one of the biggest bass these two had ever seen, screaming and yelling they managed to wrestle it to the boat
They raced back to the cottage with the bass, just then of older cousins and fathers came in, were they ever surprised
The fathers and older cousins caught some bass in the other lake but nothing like this.
They got a couple photos and released the bass into the lake.
The Fish Gods were good to the anglers that day
