Sunday Photo - White Bass Spawning

This shot was taken while on one of our lunch time walks at work. There is a nice path up to a bicycle bridge across the Sandusky River. We are in the middle of spawning season for white bass, which follows on the tail of the walleye spawning run, as a small percentage of the total fish population head upriver from Lake Erie to keep the species goin'.

It was a nice day, and although many had already caught their limit and gone home by noon, quite a few were still hanging out by the bridge here. A heron had been sharing the river with the humans, but apparently he caught his limit and moved on before I could get a picture.

I had no idea white bass were so large and had hind legs and could walk on land.
