The week after my first outing with the Chief, the summer weather finally turned in Kentucky bringing oppressive heat. Temperatures were approaching triple digits and the humidity was high. Truth be told, this is typical weather for this time of year in the Ohio River Valley; regardless of whether it was expected, I like much colder weather.
At any rate, the persistent heat warmed the pond considerably before the next outing the following Sunday, posing some challenges. Well, that and the fact that my wife D decided to tag along and watch. She filmed us, took pictures, and generally lounged in the sun. I even managed to get her out on the water with me in a Jon boat for a few hours.
The fish weren't biting so much that day. Dad took a small large mouth and was dry the rest of the day. I broke the ice on a popper with a 9-inch largemouth as well, but as the sun began dropping that afternoon, I switched to a Prince Nymph and started landing bluegill like crazy. All in all, it was a good day.
