Caught this MASSIVE Northern Pike on a realistic baitfish swimbait. I casted my bait into the lake, and this girl attacked it right when it hit the water. It fought VERY hard for its size. Had a blast catching it!

The clients had a great day on the water catching both smallmouth and largemouth bass. We focused on fishing ledges and throwing tubes, and just before the rain moved in, the bite really turned on. The fish became much more active, making for an exciting finish to the trip. It was a great day filled with quality fish, plenty of action, and lasting memories. They can't wait to get back on the water again, and neither can I!

Caught this decent sized Largemouth Bass on a small jig with a nightcrawler on my ultralight setup. I let my bait sink to the bottom, and this guy smashed it. It fought very hard for its size. Had a blast catching it!

Despite the heat and the storms moving through the area, Big Green Lake produced very well today. The water has cleared up nicely, and the fishing continues to improve. My clients had a great day on the water, with lots of action, including plenty of follows, blowups, and fish caught. Everyone landed fish and went home happy. The water temperature was 72 degrees, and most of the algae seems to have been blown away, making conditions much better for fishing. Overall, it was a fun and productive day on the water.

Drop shotting docks and submerged vegetation from 5-15' of water with 5" Green Pumpkin Yum Dinger worms and Z-Man TRD Finesse in orange/Green pumpkin. Had a very successful day during this post-spawn time although some bass were still spawning. The TRD Finesse worm in Orange/Green Pumpkin never disappoints anywhere I go!

Largemouth and bluegills were invading the shallows as the water warmed into the low 60's. Targeted north shorelines and inlet areas with lily pads and any new weed growth we could find. Making long casts near cover with the weightless Flush was the ticket for the aggressive bass. Bait color didn't make a lot of difference.

Plenty of smallmouth bedding by chambers island. Was throwing this duo realis spybait and doing a slow retrieve over the beds. Works for when drop shots become too common!

Retrieve was fast enough to hit the boulders on the bottom without getting hung up. This same structure produced in other areas of the lake. Water was extremely clear.

Shore fishing from log cabin landing. Lots of light bites if you can keep the jig and worm bouncing above the rocks. Several schools of baitfish visible near the launch and shore fishing area.
