Largemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSummerStructureBrush PilesWhile flipping bushes with this particular jig setup, I literally watched this 4+lb largemouth come out of the cover and inhale the lure. The part that captivated my mind was this size bass was laying shallow with the water temps at 87 degrees. Don’t be afraid to slow down and go shallow.

Larry BrownBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationI've had amazing luck with the Heddon Super Spook Jr. in the Bone color recently. Walked over the top of submerged grass and along grass edges with a sporadic walk and pause method. It WORKS..and if it's not in your tackle box, it needs to be. Best of luck friends!

My trip was the day after a full moon. We thought we would get them in top water in am. Nothing. Tried cranks, swim baits, nothing. We slowed down and drop shotted off steep ledges and rocky banks. Caught a mix of 18 (largemouth, spotted bass, and small mouth.
