I was experimenting with different retrieve speeds. Burning for 3-4 rotations and then slowing down for a few, then burning again.

The KVD perfect plastics Ocho especially in that black and blue color was like candy for the bass under the docks. Sun was out and the fish were hiding. No sooner than this hit the water BOOM! Big bites on the way down I'm not sure i even got to hit the bottom with it. This is Trout River An Estuary of The St Johns Here in Jacksonville Florida.
