Fished Beck from 5:15-6:15 today. Temps in the low 40s, and very light winds. Felt warmer than it really was. Caught a 17 in LM Bass on a spinnerbait on the NE corner of the lake, at around 6pm, just as the sun was setting. I caught two LM bass around 12 in earlier this month at Foster Ave., but this was my first good sized bass of the year, so naturally I was excited. I quickly put my rod down, unhooked the fish, put it back into the lake gently, and got up to keep on fishing. But I started noticing this stink that just would not go away. I looked under my shoes but saw nothing, so kept on fishing, but the smell was still there... And then finally, I noticed that my reel had a big chunk of fresh dog poop on it! (Must have gotten on there when I was unhooking the fish.) So I tried my best to wash it off in the lake and then decided to pack up and head home.
All in all, a good trip, and I tried to not let the dog poop smell ruin my memory of a good catch
