What a day! Went out to my local lake and tore them up. Thanks in part to .ghoti. I was using the gift he sent me for the Christmas Exchange. The rig consist of a Spot Stalker Jig Head and a 5" D/T Yamamoto Hula Grub.

Here is what fell victim to the Hula Grub a nice 7lb 4oz with the head of a Ten pounder. This big girl must have already spawned.

After catching about 10 more Largemouth in the 1-2 pound range. I switched up baits and went with a Crankbait. Thats when the Peacock bite went crazy. I landed about 12 Peacock about a 1lb-2lb range:

Once again Big thanks to .ghoti. for turning me on to these baits!

Yup, I would say Gary outfitted you well.  8-)

Nice looking fish Hawk.

they spawn that early this time of year? I know they do but is it common or just very few fish ? south FL big spawn probably hits around Feb? I'm just curious.

Awesome catches

Yea but I lived in FL a few years ago and you cant beat the year round weather in central and south FL.

In Texas we have 2 temps, Hot as hell and Cold as Ice.

How is that question funny? :-?

Dang Jason, nice fish.  She's definitely bigger than the ones I caught today.

Now man up and take that jacket off, it was only in the low 70's today ;D.   Lol, I drove home from lake "O" this evening with the heater on.

you dont think Pat knows what lake that is? I was laughing at his sarcasm.

Way to go, Jason.

A 7 shows up in my neck of the woods so seldom that I'm happy to take an "assist" on that one. ;D

By the way, it was 9 degrees this morning when I walked out the door.

I decided not to fish today.  :'( :'( :'(
