So, Sunday I decided to go fishing in a rental boat at Upper Castaic.  My wife was leaving for a trip with her Mom, my own Mom lives in Alaska and I planned to call her in the evening, so I had the whole day in front of me.  Plenty of time to get a vicous sunburn.

This little guy followed me all over "Suicide Cove".

The only thing that I caught all day was the previously mentioned sunburn... bad enough that I missed sleep the entire night and work the next day.  I guess the best thing that I did was to head down to the lower lake - Castaic Lagoon - to try and remove the skunk.  Yeah, I'm that stubborn.

He fought like a champ and was beautiful with neon accents.  I know it's a Bluegill, but it's the most attractive Bluegill I have ever seen.  Again my camera fails to relay the best features, and the fact that it was laying in water.

Overall, it was a tough weekend.  The only thing I have to show for it is the above picture... and a closer relationship with my dog.  Ok, I guess it wasn't so bad.  I'm gonna put sunscreen in my fishing vest though.
