Lake Tapawingo, Missouri

My biggest (& most recent) catch yet!! I was fishing 1 day at Lake Tapawingo & wasn't doing so well for a while. I then caught a fish I couldn't identify & also escaped. So in frustration, I make another cast (with force) & immediately hooked a 2 pound bass!! It was unbelievable!! Soon after, I found out from 2 different people that non-residents can't fish there. So I pack up my gear, send the prize home (2 miles away) via car, & bike home. At home, I cleaned the fish, seasoned it with salt & paprika, baked it in the oven, & served it with ciabatta bread covered in mayo & muenster. Talk about a delicious & filling lunch!! I hope I can catch another soon.
