There was a shad spawn going on almost everywhere in the mornings. The bigger largemouth wanted the popper in a white color. I tried a few other colors and lures such as the super spook jr, but the popper in a white color caught the bigger largemouth. After the early morning shad spawn action calmed down, a wake bait worked well to still pick up some keepers, but mostly smallmouths. Something about that popper that the large green ones were loving for those four days I was on the water.
