Small, dark fish
Was tagged by largemouth bass as I reeled it in.
Very fast and jerky zig-sag fishing style, stopping in cover. I was lucky it sat long enough for me to get a little closer and get pics!
Walking Gate 9 trail at the northern edge of LPK. It was flooded and I mostly focused on trying to photograph fish but it was extremely challenging as they were very wary. Highlights included a weird interaction with a bowfin I startled and a common snapping turtle skeleton.

Earlier in the day I attended a field trip organized by the Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society and also stopped by the Coe Visitor Center and Lucky Hammock.

HID work cancelled today due to storm coming in off the Gulf. I decided to snap pics of birds around Fontainebleau before the rain. It ended up pushing through pretty fast.
