Got this guy out of a farm pond today.  14 and some change...Just to nice of a fish to not show him off.  Looks like the big ones are starting to get active    

After every trip, I was sick of having a sore neck from staring down at my vex, camera, etc, for a long period of time.  I went to Target and picked up a cheap tv tray, and had to modify it a hair for my shanty, but it worked great.  It is light, and folds up in the bottom of the shanty.  Since I have plenty of room, this is pretty nice.  Keeps the camera up high, and gives me a place to set bait, lure boxes, etc.  Vex will also fit up there, but I started setting it on a minnow bucket to keep it up a little bit.
