Been a bad summer for fishing in central Virginia. Went to a lake known to be stingy but has some big bass.

 

Started with a four pounder on a Rage rigged 702 craw I injected.

 

No other bites till a 24" 6-10 bit my home made 5" stick bait.

 

Fish jumped and thought I had a ten pounder. Head and mouth were huge. She never jumped again and did not put up much of a fight. She was long and skinny. Must be old or sick. Looks like I am eating well though

 

Took some pics and forgot camera was on macro mode 

 

 

Wow still a big fish! Definitely some good eaten!

Wow! Where do you live in central Va. I live down here close to Staunton and there are big bass in the farm ponds around here!

Thanks.

That's a great fish. A fish that length he here could weigh 9lbs. She's definitely skinny. Great catch

Real nice fish! 

Ugh... Awesome fish but skinny most often means a belly full of plastics. She probably won't live too much longer unfortunately.

The blurry photo does a great job of concealing your location!

Ruritan in Central VA.

 

This small lake is highly managed by the county. Lots of nutrients asre added and water is peas soup green. Most fish are footballs. Lots of pressure but many just panfish. 

 

Here is a 19" 4# I got a different outing.
