In the past week, I have hooked 4 bass in the eyeball. Bet I haven't done this 10 times in my life,

and 4 of them in 3 trips.

Are you fishing topwater?

All 4 happened with a spinnerbait.

Aggressive bite maybe...who knows.

Yes, now that you mention it, they were very aggressive yesterday.

I've had bass choke jigs and Texas Riggs, but they must have been real aggressive to be taking a spinnerbait that far back. Just curious how fast were you working it?

Just a moderate retrieve.

Hootie, it sounds like the bass in your area are really keeping an eye on your lures.

Which is NEVER a bad thing

It just occurred to me that I was using a BPS LazerEye spinnerbait. Maybe I didn't take the eye thing seriously enough....lol.

Hootie

Small fish…?

Great bass spot, sounds like their aggressively feeding!

Small fish…?

About 13"-14".

I think most of the bass I catch are blind too Hootie...or they are on their way somewhere and happen to run into my bait....lol

That's what I was thinking, Hootie.

Dang, I was about to make that pun.

Yea it isnt uncommon for me to hook smaller fish through the mouth into the eyes on jigs/spinners.
