I love getting out before sunrise. I got on the water about 7:00 this morning. I got a dink right off the bat on a Super Spook, Jr. After about 30 more minutes I got a 7-4 on a Johnson Silver Minnow, dragging it on top of the lilies. It wasn't an epic battle because it buried itself in lilies and I cranked over to land it. I'd like to catch it again come spring. About another 45 minutes later I got a 5-6 on the Spook. One of the best things about the Spook is how far you can cast it. I caught this bass at the end of a very long cast and had to take it easy all the way. The smaller bass fought better. I missed a couple more fish, but that was it. 3 bass, but a great day. I was off the water by 11:00, mission accomplished.

 

Nice Bass !

Congrats

Nice catch! I love to see people using old school baits like the silver minnow.

Outstanding!!!

LOL. I'm more than a half century old. I'm old school. I actually bought it at the beach because the guy at Pawleys Island Outdoors recommended it. I caught one flounder. I decided to give it a try last summer when the bass started ignoring the frog. Most of the bites have come on top of the lilies. This is by far the biggest bass I've caught on it.

You ever throw a trailer on it?  Like a grub or maybe a toad? I’ve had decent luck on red drum with a white curly tail grub.

If you look really close he has a chunk style trailer on the back.

@STPC this is exactly the trailer I have on it, but in pumpkin. It's difficult to see in the pic but it's there. This is my last one so I'll be going with a 3" grub or maybe a Hula Grub when this one is worn out.

Nice looking bass!
