Master Sgt. Troy Buss a 43-year-old Bonduel, Wis. native, operations chief, Weapons Co., Task Force 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 1, attempts to snag a potential catch during his weekly Sunday morning fishing trip, Oct. 12, 2008, in Karmah, Iraq. Although Karmah is one of the most active and desirable location for insurgents, due to its location, Iraqi security forces have been proactive in fending off threats and locating weapons caches. Keeping in nature of the conflict, as coalition forces begin limiting their presence, allowing Marines an hour, if that, to themselves on an early Sunday morning.
