Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationAbsolutely crushed them on the outside weedlines around the lake. The cleaner the weed-line the better. Caught around 25, mostly medium and small fish. Lost one large (5#-ish) fish on a football jig. This was early August in MN.

Fishing a slay nation kayak tourney on 7/20 and got second place. Caught big bass at 19in. Early morning was topwater and flipping wood that extended into inside weed edges. Used a white Berkley cane walker and 1/2 keitech jig with the zman hella craw the whole morning . The bite slowed down and switched to a 4/0 ozark rig with a neko worm from Jackall. Caught my biggest fish working the edge of a tapering grass point in 20 feet of water . Slow pops got the job done Caught probably 40 fish all day just had to work to get size

Absolutely no shortage of bites. Focused on offshore points. Drop shot was key for getting large numbers of bites but in order to get anything of size turned to a 1/2 oz jig slow dragging on those same points. Most fish were 1-1.5 lbs with a few 2.5+ lbs mixed in.
