It's A Gift! by

It's a gift! What else can you call it when you fish from sunrise to sunset and catch fish the entire time? That's what happened this past Monday, Nov. 20th. And I will definitely give thanks. After five days of dismal conditions due to last week's wind and rain, the fall run bounced right back.
