A Day of fishing:
2 1/2 hrs - getting boat and fishing gear ready to go
30 min- , pack food and clothes to spend the night in RV  at lake(decide to take medium cooler)
50 min- drive to lake, with stop to get ice for cooler
15 min- get boat in lake
20 min- fight 20 mph headwind to mouth of creek feeding the lake
3 min-make 1 cast, catch 8lb 3oz bass
10 min- remember son said call him if I catch a big fish before releasing, call son, son wants bass, ask if he will  bring bigger cooler & ice, son says no, but wants bass, (realize cooler to small, and because i am a catch and release type, have no stringer, cord or anything), stick head of bass in medium cooler, with anchor weight to hold down
5 min- weight options , go back to car, get boat from lake, locate and buy bigger cooler, more ice & stringer (with fish out of water) ,return to lake, put boat back in lake, fight head wind back to creek, start fishing or go home.
15 min - head back to boat dock
15 min- get boat out of lake
40 min -drive home
10- min- pose for pictures with bass for wife
45 min-  prep to clean, clean bass, place in freezer, and cleanup mess
30 min- put boat up, unpack  food and cloths

Not a bad day if fishing, will head out again later today.......with bigger cooler and stringer

8 pounds 3 ounces! Congrats........was it a boy or girl?

How would I know?

Shifted to Mallard Lake and despite the wind got a few in the 4lb-5lb range, but they had to be let go which is what I do anyway. Don't know if they were girls or boys either.
