Well I had to name it something . . . . .

Morning started out foggy and cool with just the slightest breath of a wind.

I had every intention of long bombing an A-Rig all over the flat I was on,

but the topwater bug got a hold of me for the first hour.

After that, the lake went super glass-like flat.

Had no choice but to bust out the weightless wacky rig and go to work.

Showing the best three green bass that went into the net; first one came on a sexy dawg walking bait.

But the rest, including another very spirited pike, all came on the 5 inch senko in goby color.

Finally, I have to give big props to the St Croix Avid 7 ft ML stick and the newest Shimano Vanford 3000 for doing all the heavy lifting

with 10 lb Sufix 131 and an 8 lb Big Game leader. The Mustad TitanX Wacky/Neko Rig Hook in 1/0 was on the business end. 

I had fun.

Nice work! The ferns aren’t ripe just yet. 

Great report and video! Those bass were tanks!

 

The A-rig was a bait and switch though

You had fun? I had fun just watching. I was gonna say you're blessed to have a 55 degree morning. But I'll be fishing when you're snowblowing, so I hold my tongue/finger.😄

Great way to celebrate your birthday.

Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.

Another cool video. Thanks. 

When I grow up, I wanna be @A-Jay

@A-Jay - I could sense that you were keen on landing some brown bass - yet the fish you caught were very nice ! Thank you for bringing us along for the adventure.

Could you let me know what the rubber mat is that you use to place the fish on ?

Thanks and I sure can.

It's a silicone dog food mat.

I use the 24 x 16 inch size. 

Does not retain anything especially odors and rinses right of in my net. 

It's an Amazon purchase.
