Nice hefty fella. Couldn't hardly get him in kayak, nearly bent my net handle. I love this weedless Owner #2 Sniper hook. Can't beat em for working the edge of laydowns. Limb snags happen, but much more rarely. This fish was lurking in a cedar treetop half submerged from Bank. Wanted to go back in. Fought to keep him out. This is my personal best so far. 20.50 inches.

Fishing the wacky rig right up next to flood timber away from the bank yielded a fun day on the water. Junebug colored in stained water with spinning gear and the new Mustad Alpha Point's was king.

Hot water. Bit about 10:40 am, only fish today.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureStanding TimberWalking a Spook Boyo next to timber, or flinging a wacky worm next to bigger timber generated a ton of fish. Water was a hair dingy, and temp rode between 76-80F. I would sling the wacky worm into the tree and let it sink for 5-7 seconds, and start working it back. If I didn't get hit, I would move to the next tree.
