Went out early today because rain in the afternoon. Had a HUGE one get off early then nothing for a long time. It started pouring!! I was way on the other side of the lake from the ramp so I just kept casting.  THIS fish is my PB large mouth bass and my FIRST fish caught on a jerk bait AND my first fish caught on a bait caster (Apu Garcia Black Max). I must say the big LM bass are very well behaved in the kayak. He just stayed calm not like the SM who want to kill me every second. 

 

HE WAS 4.13 pounds on my scale!! 

So happy got drenched to the bone and cold but all worth it. 

 

 

Catches like that are always worth the elements endured.

Congrats on your PB.  Fishing in the rain can yield unexpectedly good results.  I ain't afraid to do it so long as there's no lightning.

 

Grats on your fish. Even if your PB was 12 pounds, it's always nice catching a nice fish like that.

Congratulations!!

Awesome, congrats! Fair warning: not all largemouth are calm near kayaks. I’ve nearly been capsized 

Hearty congrats, man! Nice catch!

Rad !

Awesome! Nice fish!

Nice work dude.

Congrats on the new PB. 

Congrats! ??

Thanks all. What shocked me so much was how BIG a 4 pound really is. On TV you just cant get a real idea or from a photo. When I got him out of the water I said this thing must be 5-6 pound. 

Nice catch ?

That fish does  look bigger than 4.13 lbs.

If I'd caught it we'd be calling it 5.13
