Well, I got Beth's old scanner up and running. Dad's northern in the upper left corner was 21 lbs. and 3 oz. He caught it in 1979. It's been hanging on our wall my whole life. The rest of the pics are bass we cuaght in Ten Mile. I still remember catching those four bass on about five casts off the shore right in front of the house. I wasn't more than 10 or 11 years old. We don't get that many bass out of here anymore. We always have plenty of northerns and the crappies are pretty good.

As requested here's a picture of some fish caught here. If I had a scanner I'd post a picture of Dad's 20 pounder. It was caught in a different lake. I'm sure there's some that big in Ten Mile too.

The thing I miss most during the winter is the sun reflecting off of open water, sunsets magnified by the still night water. I miss sitting alone in a boat casting along the weed line. Life makes more sense on the water.

Explanation

I thought I'd start out by posting pictures of my favorite place on earth. God's creation is a beautiful thing. I write songs and one of my inspirations is nature. It's amazing with all the incredible things God created His most prized creation is you and me. He loves us so much and we spend most of our time ignoring Him. Still He sent His own son to die so that we could be with Him forever. The most important thing we can do with our lives is to get to know Him.

God paints another masterpiece.
