16.5 inch 2lb 5oz Largemouth Bass |
The second one was from one of our favorite lakes for bass. A 19 inch 2lb 14oz I caught Saturday morning.

My primary bait has been a 1/8oz watermelon bitsy bug jig paired with a Berkley PowerBait watermelon Chigger Chunk and all of my larger bass have come on this bait. 50% of my bites happen before I even have time to engage my reel when casting right on the bank. The other 50% are after hopping the jig along bottom a few times and I will just feel weight.
Temperatures the last 2 days have been in the upper 80's and this has shot water temperatures well up into the 70's. It appears that all the lake bass are either spawning or done spawning from my experience. They say that the big bass spawn first and that fishing slows down after spawn for a couple weeks as they recuperate. With this in mind I'm liking the idea of targeting some different species such as catfish as Sean did this weekend.
