Used to fish a lot, then quit when I moved to CT 5 years ago. Just got back into it and have spent about a week and a half fishing different places from shore and haven't caught a single bass, only one sucker out of the river. This morning I went out and caught this baby at around 630am. Used a topwater for a while and got nothing, then switched to the weightless, trigged brush hog and got this guy in the milfoil. Gotta love it!!

would you say he is "hawg" status or no? And how much do you think he weighs??
