Launched around 2:30 this afternoon. Was clear and hot with water temps around 86 degrees. The lake I fished has tons of hydrilla and lilly pads that border the bank almost around the entire lake. From 2:45 until 7:30 I threw a swim jig, crankbait, pitbull creature bait t-rig, and a keitch noisy flapper. And a hollow body frog. Not a single bite but kept grinding. Decided to regroup and retie each rod. Switched up to a spinnerbait, jig n pig, and shadow rap shad jerkbait. Had a smaller bass hit the spinnerbait on the edge of the lillies, but missed him. Fished another hour with no luck. Switched up to the jerkbait right before dark near a grass bank with weeds and this one blew it up on the second twitch. My PB for the year. Weighted 3.62 which is a larger bass for my region of the world. 

Sounds like your hard work paid off. Congrats.

Thanks! Isn't it amazing how that one 30 seconds of a big strike and catch overshadows the hours and hours of frustration and aggravation. 

nice catch!

Nice one!

Just one fish can change an entire day! Just never know what that next cast may bring!
