Fall Smallmouth Bass in North Hills of Pittsburgh

I got some fishing in Monday afternoon on Pine Creek off of Wildwood Road (Hampton) outside of North Park in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. I landed 4 smallmouth bass with the biggest being 14 inches. The 14 incher was caught with a chartreuse trout magnet and the others with a Panther Martin spinner.

Poets talk about "spots of time," but it is really fishermen who experience eternity compressed into a moment. No one can tell what a spot of time is until suddenly the whole world is a fish and the fish is gone. I shall remember that S.O.B. forever.

One reason Paul caught more fish than anyone else was that he had his flies in the water more than anyone else. "Brother," he would say, "there are no flying fish in Montana. Out here, you can't catch fish with your flies in the air."

Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go.
