So it was another wonderful day. 60 and partly cloudy.   ESE winds and a dream , went out this morning with water temps at 48 degrees and a smile. I started off with the jerkbaits and spinnerbaits and was hammering them. Had about 15-20 decent smallmouth in the first few hours and then it died down to a Hault. Decide to try some bottom baits and busted out the tube in a brown/gold flake. Instantly started hitting again! Woohoo, i caught about 6 on the tube and remembered I have a dark sleeper in a brown and gold color. I tie it on and I’m swimming and hopping and doing whatever I can to get bit .. all of a sudden “thunk” and the rod bends hard and the fight was on. She swallowed it and was hooked good and funny thing is that was the only bite on the dark sleeper all day .. old PB is 5 pound 4 oz. this one was just over at 5 pound 6 oz ! Not my true 6 pounder but it’s comming. Oh and @A-Jay good and bad news, megabass sonicside is amazing! Caught 3 nice smallmouth on 5 casts , bad news is that I broke off into rocks after that ahah. Guess it means I have to order 2 more ?. 

Congratulations! Great fish!

Congrats on another Killer trip.

Fat Brown bass rule !

Bummer about your bait.  I haven't hooked up with it yet.

Be awhile before I can edit or post pics or video.  Still fishing hard though.

Congrats ,beauty 

@Ksam1234. Thanks for the motivation and inspiration my friend.  

Cold north wind had me bundled up good but managed to get a few good ones on Lake Merderchuch today.  Best brown one went 6.08 lbs.  Can't post pics or video yet, but it's coming...

Thanks again
