As I mentioned in my last post, I caught my biggest largemouth bass to date. As I was guiding my dad and son, I wasn't getting too much fishing done myself. I was casting one of my favorite lures, a Rapala J-11, when the bass hit it like a ton of bricks in about 1 foot of water, right off the shore. Though I knew it was big, it wasn't until I saw it jump that I realized it was a beauty.
As it took it's first run by the boat, I noticed the huge girth on the fish, which was just about 20 inches long. After a couple more runs, I had it subdued next to the boat. I lipped it carefully, as I do with all bass this time of the year. I was gladly surprised when it weight in in a 5.25 lbs, shattering my personal largemouth bass record by 1 lb.
After a couple quick pics, I released it. Still full of energy, it took off as soon as I put it in the water.
