Bright Idea

Was going to be a typical HH day , here in S. ON.
Plan for fishing  : up early and beat the heat.
Cruised the shoreline , 1 rockbass ( not big ) , for 1/2 hr
Getting to the end of the deeper water and kathunk , something's thrashing around down there stuck to my line.
The mystery comes close and its a # 5 walleye. I was spinnerbait fishing and was paralleling the weed line. This guy is so heavy , that I couldn't one hand the net. No camera , you gotta trust me.

Well , it is a HH day , for sure. We're hiding in the A/C comfort of the house. If someone says ' You'd never survive in the ' Little House on the Prairie ' then I'll say ' Yep '.

Post Script : Torrential rains hit T.O.. Periodic bursts dumping several inches of rain in under an hour have paralyzed movement in and around T.O.  Subway service is suspended , the Don Valley Pky is closed in low-lying sections and the airport has cancelled all flights for the near future. Our flowers are being watered , thank you.

As well , the 6PM news announced that the death toll in Lac-Megantic ,PQ , is now at 13 and bound to rise. The rescue teams have just started searching buildings in the middle of town. The fires are now out. They tell us that the same train that fireballed travelled through T.O.
Surprisingly , a rural fire department reports putting out a fire on the same train hours before the train de-railed in the town. Oops , doesn't quite cover this one
