The numbers have not been there lately, but the quality is really starting to show up lately. Thursday was the toughest day I fished this week, but it also produced my largest bass of the year so far. I was stubborn and spent too much time fishing memories instead of the conditions at hand. Once I finally switched we caught more fish in the last 2 hours than the whole rest of the day. The big girl bit right at 3pm and gave a heck of a fight. She was very thick and felt very heavy when I got a grip of her jaw. I'd been fishing a dark colored bladed jig all day until I finally made the switch to one of my baits in Golden Shiner color, which is what I caught a majority of my fish on. There was no doubt she was going to eat it. 

 

Friday was a little better for numbers and I got a couple nice ones. This was just a small, local lake that we fish Thursday night tournaments on. I didn't fish Thursday night but there was a big fish caught so I thought I'd try my luck. I fished 3 hours and had a 15 pound bag with a 3lb 10oz and 4lb 4oz fish being the biggest. Flipping a lime-purple passion Pit Boss into the water willows was the best technique as it usually is on this lake.

Those are some nice fish

It's been a long dry spell with no big fish on my bladed jigs, then I catch that one, which is the second largest bass I've caught on one of my bladed jigs. They love them on the lake I was fishing. It's just a matter of time before I catch a real monster on one from out there.

Matter of time=3 weeks

Didn't get any video of the big girl unfortunately, but I did get the following day when I caught the other two fish. Enjoy the cat-like reflexes at 5:38. The 2 bigger fish in the video where caught on a Havoc Pit Boss dipped in chartreuse JJ's Magic fished on 50lb Seaguar Braid with a Okuma Scott Martin TCS "Matt Daddy" rod with an Okuma Cerros Reel.
