Catch of the day

Five-year-old Mason Rich caught his first bass while fishing with his sister and grandpa on Sunday at Diamond Point Park. It was Mason’s second time fishing and first time fishing with the new pole his grandpa bought him. Mason caught the fish 10 minutes after he dropped his line in the water and just minutes after his two-year-old sister caught her first fish, a crappie. Live worms were used for bait. The fish were released back into the lake.
