Took my dad out to one of our local lakes I like. Only caught 6 but one was this chunk at 4-03. I lost one at the boat that would have pushed 6 and been a new pb. 
 

Just...Dinkin around

Got several today in one of my favorite work route ponds , all on zoom super flukes .

Lost a larger fish when I got bit inside one of the concrete drains. It had a rough edge that broke the line…?

Hit the shallowest lake this afternoon knowing that this cold front might have shut it down - but it’s also about the best numbers lake, so it could go either way. Two days ago, everyone was posting pics of their bad sunburns - today, they were complaining about the snow flurries ?
 

Was happy to find a decent bite, catching bass on my first two casts, and 16 in total on a combination of swimbaits and blades. Warming and sunshine the next couple days might refire the sight fishing bite.

 

 

Caught a really cool fish today, and outside of maybe the 9.1 from Feb., this is the shortest/fattest fish I can ever remember catching.   Tough fish to figure out given the spawn is mostly over, but to me she's post spawn given she had a big meal down here throat and was eating my Da Bomb.    Maybe she is spawning and just super aggressive.  

 

The Da Bomb is just an amazing bait.  It's catching a 5lb+ fish almost each time out.  

 

Switched to the color SuperBug today, caught 6 including the cool fish. 

Finally, the day was complete after watching a Dinasaur fight.....stoked to see the White Heron return even though it gets bullied by the Blue ones.  

 

Ha! I love that bass! Out of Happy Heart reactions, so this comment will have to do. 

 

Dino fight made me laugh. So true.

That tail down her throat belonged to a softball fish

Haha, I'd love to know what that tail belonged to.   I hope it's a big gizzard, justifies my big bait addiction ?

Lol, the reaction thing drives me nuts some days.    I'll run out of likes by mid day, and it's an addiction ?

 

Wish I would see some Foxes like you again.  

45 mins to get er done tonight. Got a couple tugs on a brush hog but didn’t connect. Came up empty with a jerkbait. Got the buzzbait out for the first time this year and had the most vicious strike I’ve ever had in my life. The fight had me thinking she was 7-8 pounds. Jumped twice. Put on a show. Got her to dry ground and still thought she was gonna be 6. Too short. Just really filled out. 4.76 and if you can’t tell by the pic I’ll take that all day!

Few things can make a grown man smile like a kid.....catching a toad on a buzzer surely will ?

 

Awesome fish, and you always get to add a pound or two when it comes on topwater.   Nice scale too.

A tremendous blow was thrust upon his thumb, but the adrenaline of catching a stud numbed his pain ?

That thumb got injured by fish before this one, It was a 3.5lb plus rainbow trout and he made a bloody fight with me ?

Made it out for another quick trip in the kayak. Ran into a few and excited it should only get better from here.

 

 

 

Best spot of the day on a little swimbait.

Thanks Mike!  It was gonna take an awesome soft plastic to pry the moving baits away from my hands, and this little magic bait was just what I needed. 

 

The colors are so cool, you'll find one that you can't live without.   

@AlabamaSpothunter, you've been recently pining for winter again, but these are the good ol days too. You've been steadily catching big fish. We're all so proud of you.

It’s D BOMBS , right? ( not da bombs)?  They look a little like zoom Z hogs, which I’ve done very well with.

Got out for a short trip this morning, fished about 8-11:45. Managed to boat 6 bass with the best of the day at 4-6 on a Texas rig 4"yo mamma.
