Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSummerStructureFlooded BrushLove fishing in cover with these Mustad, not all the fish are always monsters but these hooks keep them pinned when dragging them through the grass and cover.

Trying out a new setup today for Carolina rig fishing. Was using live shiners just to ensure a hookup to see how it performed. Was very happy with the rod and reel combo. Was using a KastKing Assegai rod and MegaJaws Elite reel with Hammer Braid. Worked like a charm!

Decided to use some live shiners today for fishing. Thought it might be nice to actually feed the fish for.once since I was going to be catching them. It's been difficult fishing lately so I wanted to ensure a catch.

Couple small ones fishing BFS throwing the Bitsy pond minnow. Tried out the Shimano Mastiff 6# Fluoro for a leader. Super strong! Got hung in the grass on 3 of the 4 and didn't break off, was able to pull through and rip the fish out. Really like this fluorocarbon!

The top water bite is here! Was trying different walking speeds to entice the bite. Out in open water, following a fast/erratic walk I paused the lure and the fish hit it about 1 seconds later. Only a 1.25# fish but biggest of the day.
