Shake 'n Bake

OK, so no baking took place, but we definitely shook! I thought I had seen a lot during my time on the water, but I have never felt an earthquake before, much less while on a boat. As we casted at a small piece of structure, I began to feel vibrations under the boat. At first I merely thought it was the trolling motor's prop getting caught in a clump of weeds, but then I noticed bubbles rising in unison around the boat. And not just around the boat, but EVERYWHERE. Before I could even figure out what was going on, someone on shore began shouting, "IT'S AN EARTHQUAKE! IT'S AN EARTHQUAKE!" (Yes, that dramatically.)

Although we didn't catch anything (close, but no cigar), the experience trumped the poor fishing!
