Went back to the place where i lost a big one last weekend with a buddy.  We launched the kayaks yesterday morning around 6AM and it was cold and windy (i know this is a relative term) but for Georgia, it was COLD and WINDY!!  I tried to get some action on the buzzbait/spinnerbait on the edges of the pads, but nothing going there.  I could see and hear some topwater activity in the thick of the pads though.  i opted to pull out my brand spanking new spro frog and put it to work in the pads.  After about 30 minutes of that i saw some activity near a nice little open pocket so i worked my frog through there a couple times, nothing.  Tossed a weightless t rig senko in there and saw a swirl, but no strike.  So threw the frog in there again and CRASH-BANG-SLURP!  Hookeset away and she went straight for the pads.... after a little tangle with her in the pads, i pulled her up and realized it was a little bigger than i thought it was at first!  Right at 22", but no weight on her (see my other thread about needing scales after losing mine last week).  Only caught 1 more dink all day, but this fatty had my spirits high all day!

Nice fish! I'd much rather catch one big one instead of a bunch of little ones. 

nice!

Great fish. Love top water. 

Well done, Buzzed!

Awesome catch!   Did you get the frog out of it OK?  It is a sewer cap of a mouth, but that bait is deep!
