was a pretty decent one at about 5PM today. I had my baitcasting gear out for the first 2 times last week, but I happened to catch all my fish on spinning gear. Finally got the first one on casting gear today using a KVD 2.5 chartreuse with black back.
All of my fish so far this year (in the past week) have been caught on chartreuse and other yellowish green type colored lures. It took me some time to figure out what the fish wanted. At first I was trying natural looking colors like shad, which is what I had a lot of success on last fall but I wasn't getting any bites.
This was caught at a conservation area near Columbia, MO.

Congrats ~

 

You're well on your way to many more.

Nice work man, you started things off with a good one!

Excellent. Good call switching it up until you figured out what the bass were after. That's one of the more finer points of fishing that can be pretty frusturating. But it looks like you figured it out with some great results.

 

Excited to see some more hawg pics coming from you

Not too shabby, nice fish! Gotta love them KVD 2.5s

When I was practicing with my casting gear I was the same way would catch all my fish on my spinning gear, so I gave it up lol

Congrats man!

Good going, congrats!

Great fish  - hopefully the first of many...
