I caught this around 6:00 PM fishing with my dad at lake Rooty. The method we use for the worm is to pop five times reel in slack and wait for three seconds then repeat.

Had great success this past weekend on topwater poppers early in the morning and Wacky Rig in the evening. Caught a 6 pack of LMB on the popper in 2 hours Saturday morning and 6 pack on the Wacky Rig Sunday evening. When working the popper, every fish was caught when we would briefly pause the popper after 3-5 twitches, didn't matter if we walked it or popped it. The poppers we used were the Strike King KVD Splash in Sexy Shad and Berkley Bullet Pop in Bone, both were 2-3/4" size.

I used the PowerStinger as my trailer when throwing the Slobberknocker. All of the fish took the lure when I paused my retrieve for a brief moment.

Overcast today and cooler temps after 3 hot days in a row. Walked the popper and then would pause for a few seconds. Ended up catching 4 today and each bass hit on the pause.
