Catch a two pound bass with a pen, and I'm sure the 'only' will disappear from that sentence! Now for four pounders, I think I'll skip the pen and use my St. Croix rod...in fact, I might skip the pen altogether! Now I've got to pack - lake trout fishing at dawn tomorrow with steel line...hope we don't get the thunderstorm they're forcasting!
