Tough day fishing as far as the tournament went. Only caught two that made the cut for submission, but had several more smaller ones, a few panfish, and a pike. I had to call it early due to a lack of hydration (but plenty of coffee) and a very sore shoulder on my casting arm. While fishing, I also saw several turtles and two pairs of deer. Praise God’s creation! It is so beautiful!
