Launched right at dawn this morning and fought gusting winds to 20-25mph all morning.  Tried stalking the shallows for bedding bass in multiple spots, but the wave chop made boat position challenging and alerted the fish more times than not.  Finally found a nice spot that I could cast to without spooking the fish and was rewarded with a fat 21 1/4" LMB.  I ended up landing 5 on the day and a fat bluegill.  Great day on the water albeit cut short by the severe storm rolling through.

Very nice especially under tough conditions.

Nice!

Nice fish chuck and fighting that weather must have been crazy.

Good stuff. I went out today as well, the wind was awful. Stalked four beds, but the bass were supremely stubborn and refused any and everything I threw at them. Didn't fare as well as you, caught a smaller bass, maybe 3/4 pounder. But the wind just kept getting worse and changed directions at least three times making what were lovely still coves, frustrating....

Nice fish!

Thanks guys - it was rough out there but the ends justified the means!

Nice fish out the YAK

I read citation instead of situation

Good Job on the lunker. Got her on a pre-frontal weather bite, huh?

 

I also was out in that wind and Rhody was hit with a line of storms, as well.

 

Kudos to the Kayaker!

Nicely done!!
