I was flipping fast current banks as close up under the reeds as I could get. This tank (for this lake/river), and also my new PB at 19.5”, decided to hammer my creature hawg and nearly take the rod out of my hand. She hit right on the fall, textbook. Can’t ask for much more on a great fall day!

I was able to find largemouth around dying lily pad stems throwing spinnerbaits. I stuck with white and natural colors with the water being clearer.

Absolutely throttled the smallmouth by drifting ned rigs with the current, using the trd bugZ from ZMan gets a better drifting action and definitely led to more bites! Found them using a zman jackhammer than slowed down with the ned after I got a bite killer combo! ZMan never fails!
