Florida Freshwater Fish
This nice channel cat was caught by PFT friend Don while visiting our good fishing buddy Babe, while in Florida. They caught this cat while fishing the Stick Marsh using a shiner. What is it about fishing that makes grown men smile? This nice bass was caught at the same Stick Marsh by Babe's neighbor in Viera, using a 6 inch plastic worm rigged Texas style. Lots of nice fish here in Florida!
