The Longest Day of Fishing









The Saturday around the first day of summer is what I call the Longest Day of Fishing. On the Longest Day of Fishing, I can fish before 7:00 in the morning and after 9:00 at night and it will always be light outside.


First, we went to Park Lake. We met a nice fisherman there. He said he came from Macedonia. During our early morning hours at Park Lake, I caught about 15 bluegills.


In the afternoon, we made a stop at Grand River Bait and Tackle to buy some minnows. Then we headed to the Looking Glass to try and see if the pike were back from last year. They were! I caught a huge, behemoth, 26-inch pike that day. When I was reeling that pike in, I saw an even bigger pike that I will be back to catch!
