Went to the pond for a short spell on Sunday until the rain and lightning pushed me off, but managed a couple bites and one bass.  Missile Baby D Bomb and the 4" pumpkinseed senko were the baits of choice.  Last night i went back and managed 4 bass and had 3 jump me off (one of which was between 3 and 4 pounds ).  However, they did not seem to care for the 4" pumpkinseed, but instead wanted the 5" sprayed grass senko, which they were tearing up!

I picked up a new spinnerbait rod last friday from BR member @Grantman83 and was trying to force them to eat the spinnerbait, but it just wasn't happening.  So instead i was going with the flow and sticking them on the phenix recon 683 (4" senko) and switched it up and tossed the t rigged baby d bomb and the 5" wacky senko on the DX703c I picked up a couple weeks ago from BR member @kickerfish1 ...   and FYI, both are good guys to deal with!

noticed the top jaw was broken on this one guy so i can only assume someone else had caught him and used some kind of Hercules hookset on the little guy....

great job man!

Awesome...

Good work Justin, nothing like breaking in a new rod

Nice!  I wish you have caught them on a spinnerbait though lol

it wasn't for lack of trying man trust me!!  the big guy that jumped off didn't even pay one bit of attention to the spinnerbait that kept cruising by him, but that 5" senko, he wasn't having that, not in his house!

Congrats on a nice outing.  Way to go christening the new gear.

Nice fish!  Nothing like having brand new to you equipment prove itself right away.
