Bass fishing is a big pastime in our family. We most often go to Loch Lomond or Lexington. Usually just my husband, but yesterday I wanted to go. We were on the lake for 8 hours. He caught 6 bass and I caught one baby bass. Being on a boat for 8 hours gives me lots of time to reflect and ask questions. We hid a cache at Lexington and now we are going to ask you some questions so you can find it.
