Made it out again yesterday to Rodman Res. in Palatka FL. I fished with a new member of our club who put me on fish in short time and short distance from the ramp. When he came off plane I was a little skeptical of the area as it was a LARGE stump flat 7 foot deep. He pulled out his cranking set up and I thought to myself "that ain't going to work" I picked up a swim jig and trailer something that would not be so prone to snagging stumps, well he put 3 in the boat before I even finished my coffee. I was convinced @ that point to follow his lead. I begain throwing a "Flatside 5 " and the first fish I caught shortly after was this 5.8 lb that was followed up with 5 more LM over 2 lb. By 2:30 "Lines out" he had caught 11 and I six. Our best 5 went 18 lbs.

 

 

                                                            

Rodman is an unreal fishery, I see tons of TrophyCatch submissions from there. That's a gorgeous bass and sounds like you had an excellent trip!
