Caught a nice one with the jerkbait. She bit after a very long pause.

I let the spybait fall to the bottom and very slowly retrieved it. It was a very soft bite with only one hook in its lip.

Didn't lose a fish with the Mustad Alpha point 2/0 offset hook. Great hook! Largest bass was 5.5lb with smallest 2.5lbs. All weighed on my new Bubba scale.
