Big Bass In Front Yard

A neighbor who lives across the street informed me on 10/3/2018 that the fish disappeared during a recent storm. Since there was no sign of the bass, I had to believe she was telling the truth.

The fish has disappeared at least once before, then reappeared with a new paint job. Perhaps it's getting another makeover?
