Baby Largemouth Bass
:::
Baby Large Mouth Bass, up close and personal.
The mother of these babies circles them constantly, chasing off all other fish and keeping them in a tight little herd (school?). They live near the end of my dock.
And when I can, I chase off the fishermen who've decided my dock is a great place to fish. When I see them casting near, I go down onto the dock, stick my feet in the water and strike up inane conversations. I splash (not so much as to scare mom and the kids), and am generally annoying and they tend to move on quickly.
Occasionally, mom brushes up against my leg as she swims by. I like when she does that.
I think she knows I'm trying to help.
