As I was wading towards it, I noticed a squirrel way out on a limb, just over 
that stump.  There was a pecan on that stump and the squirrel was determined 
to get it.
 
Poor thing swayed back and forth for a while before getting enough courage to 
leap from branch to stump.  No sooner had it landed that the biggest bass I 
have seen in Oklahoma leaped out of the water and nailed that squirrel!
 
I couldn't believe my eyes!  I stood there astounded.  A few moments went by 
and there was a slight disturbance in the water and that bass surfaced and 
put another pecan on that stump!

Back east the bass put out apples to lure young deer.  But those aren't the 
largest bass in Maryland.  The really big ones set out a half full bottle of 
single malt and a few strips of beef jerky.  The trick is to knock the bottle 
off the log and hope it floats into the shallows.  Lost 2 mates who couldn't 
wait until the water was shallow enough.
