I did some fishing over the weekend and caught 5 smaller bass, 4 on a lizard and 1 on a tube. 2 of the bass I caught were males close to a bed, and about 15 feet away I could see a big fat momma bass come up from the depths (in a submerged weedbed) and cruise for a second, then go back. I couldnt get her to hit either lure, or a wacky senko or fluke. The only time she appeared slightly aggresive was when I caught one of the males and put him back in the water.

What would you guys do in this situation? Water was about 65 degree's, sunny skies, and visibililty maybe 4ft down.

Don't the male back! Put him in the livewell until you catch the female & the return the male quickly.

I was fishing from the bank, so no livewell unfortunately.
