Baker has four now

Shaye Baker has four bass in the boat now, but three of them he hopes to cull before the day is over. Baker is pitching at anything sticking out of the water. His last fish came off a single pencil reed poking a foot above the surface.
James Overstreet and I are getting a little jumpy as there is some serious duck hunting taking place on Lake Okeechobee this morning – some of the shooting isn't all that far from our boat.
