Dapples made my day. Dapples the smallmouth bass. He was so cute. :3 My dad caught him on a rod. He was a little fishy, maybe 5 or 6 inches. I watched him for a minute or two then my dad proceeded to take him and put him on a hook [it's kinda brutal but we get really yummy catfish off of small fish...we just hook them through the tail, but I always feel bad when I do :C] as bait for catfish and other large bottomfeeders. I went upstairs, and I came back, he had tangled himself with other fishing lines we had hanging off the dock. One line had the fish on it, then another had a turtle. The hook was caught in the turtle's skin. I unhooked the turtle [he was okay! not even bleeding. he had rough skin.] and realized I couldn't untangle the lines without taking the fish off. I filled up a bucket and put him in there, untangled the lines, then looked at the fish closely. I looked at him for a minute, and said, "WHOA, that fish is lovely". I noticed his
gorgeous pattern and named him Dapples.
I watched him for a couple minutes then set him free. Goodbye Dapples :3
