Wide Mouth Bass

Young fisherman, politely oblidging my request to take pic, displayed Little Wide Mouth Bass exactly right, grabbing Bass by lower lip, and never touching the scales...Fish have a protective slimy layer, and once handled, rubbing the protective covering off, and tossed back, Fishes' skin become susceptible to infection and parasites...brb...search: fish protective slime...after pic, kid released Little Bass...his courtesy and skill took me aback, as earlier I had heard him talking with his friend, a conversation like all the kids' conversation nowadays, especially in the rpgs, laced with profanities!...but that's the thing, these kids are all remarkably bright and skilled, but talk like sailors!...I'd gone to Mile Square park with the blue chair and beach towel, and tried to find a cool shady tree to sit quiet under...it's really hot!...also had gear, radio, and Call of the Wild Along--Buck wins the 1000lb sled bet!...too, took a nap...tenants wound me up to where I missed yesterday, no rollabout, and little sleep!...too hot to sleep really...some Admiral Butterflies about, maybe Monarchs too, in the Eucy's attracting strollers attention...sun moved and I lost my shade, so I moved over to sit by the Pond...Ducks, Geese, Cormorants, Egrets, and Phoebe...Humming Birds and Carpenter Bees in the Eucy Canopy overhead...tried to draw a bit...it is very hard to draw trees if one tries to stay true to how the branches are...most just stylize...sunny hot, later by pier light breeze...rolled out to Balboa Pier, picked up Subway Tuna and Orange Juice and Dark Cookies, set up, and sat on the sand just south of Pier...pop with kids, all with bodyboards and wetsuits, surfing by the Pier after dark...water lit up from Pier Lights...waves like a foot, but kids only like three, so, that makes waves like five for them!...I seemed to have motivated the tenants to do some things, not sure how much, stayed out all day to stay out of their way!...a wait and see...
