Caught my first bass of the new year on a northstar hidden head spinner bait.  Hope everyone else gets one soon.

 

 

 

Way to start off!

That grass is too green to be PA...where were you fishin at?

Nice fish!! Here is my first if 2013, first on a jig and first in under 40 degree water. Measured in at 22" which is citation size here in VA so hopefully it is a sign of good things to come this year.

 Yes your right. Not a PA fish but a FL fish. Funny though some or most of the FL fish are quite dark depending on what waters they are pulled out of.

Looks like a Florida Strain LMB...they are usually darker with a more pronounced midline and some dark blotches of color on top. I'm not sure if they have Northern strain or if it's too warm down there. There was some experimenting by Kansas a while back with Florida Strain but many weren't doing well with the colder winter months

Hey Dwight - WTG!

 

The darkest bass I catch are at my Dad's house in central Florida...

Thats a good way to start the new year!!!

Nice job Dwight - not wasting any time.

 

You're starting the year off right and could be signs of good things to come.

 

btw - that's a sweet looking rod & reel combo there . . .
