I caught a healthy 3ish pounder a few weekends ago. When i was removing my hook i noticed the eye of another hook just barely sticking out from its gullet. I grabbed the eye of the hook and pulled gently with pliers and out came a texas rigged 10.5 purple ole monster worm and super rusty hook. Released the fish a few ounces lighter. Who knows how long that had been in the fish?!? That was a first for me.
Start in the deeper parts earlier in the afternoon. Drag a jig or t-rig and see if you can find any structure or bottom differences.The stuff you cant see. As the afternoon turns into evening start hitting the shallows/banks with crankbaits and your weightless baits. just my .02

As far as powell vs duckett. I own both brands and the powell ratings tend to be on the lighter side compared to other brands. I own a heavy action duckett and itll pull a truck outta the mud!(not really). My powell rods are mh action and they seem more like mediums to me but still my favorite. Hope this helps
hahaha the scale is in my boat which was at home and the detached hand is my friend getting out of the water behind me. there were a few people swimming when i caught it.
