2am, first cast I backlash the baitcaster, forgot to reset the tension.  Second cast.......

5.7

1/2 hr later   6.6lbs

Ended up with a dozen or so fish including a 4.1.  

I ran solo this time and had myself a great morning.  

Another day with bigger fish, I think I'm really starting to figure this new lake out (same lake, drastic changes, fishes like a totally different place than the last 4-5 yrs)  

Nice bass

LBH with a BAITCASTER?? Did I read that correctly? Way to go Russ! Nice fish you got there!

Dude, you HAVE to be breathing a huge sigh of relief getting into the quality fish again!

Great fish, is the 6-6 PB of the year?

very nice!!

Way to go LBH!  Those are nice.  My first backlash is usually followed by a second backlash - not a 5 lb pig!

Good job.

Awesome action Russ!  Glorious Bass too!

Dan

Great looking fish LBH! The 6.6lber. on a Jitterbug, right?

Way to go LBH that is one nice looking bass. Congratulations

What a big dumb bass!!!!!  I thought they weren't suppose to fall for topwater lures?!?!?!?! (I think it was you that shared the same opinion on bigger bass and topwater lures)  On a jitterbug none the less.  Probably one of my favorite all time lures

Couple of beauties
