If we could only get to the other side...Fish were rising over there all day!

Where the hell did Steve go?  The leafless tree in the middle of the picture is about where he was at....Jason and I were just chillin in the car eating lunch and before we knew it Steve was back on the water

A decent brown I brought to hand
