I caught my new PB Largemouth today at my friend's pond near my house. I caught what I believe was the same fish last year, but it was well after the spawn and 2 pounds lighter. She was already staging for the spawn. I spotted her and another female almost the same size hanging out next to a log under a weeping willow. I had a good bit of trouble last year getting big females to bite when sight fishing. I thought a lot about what my go to bait would be over the winter and it seems to be a winner. I'm using a 4" Black Neon Beaver on a 1/8 oz. standup jighead. It was caught using a Falcon Cara 6'7" "Weightless Worm" rod and a Shimano Curado 201DHSV reel with 50 lb. Fireline Braid. Here she is. Just over 8 lbs.
