40 bass in four hours! Love the small fry drive thru! Another photo with my uncles, and like my last, I have left them out because I don’t know if they would like me to post their faces. Follow for more fish!

Uncle caught this, but out of respect for him, I won’t show his face as I don’t know if he would like me to. Follow for more fishing! #fishsebago
