I had a day off at the beginning of June so I decided to hit Candlewood Lake for a "fun" morning of bass fishing.

Instead, what unfolded was a series of unfortunate events that just kept compounding, to the point where I couldn't believe what was happening: losing a fishing pole, missing big fish, catching a catfish on a swimbait, and even catching a literal rock.

Even though it was "one of those days", I'm glad that I was able to have a few hours of practice on the water and learn a few new things.

Tackle List: Keitech 4" Swim Bait - Electric Shad
