    Spring 2014 massive Large Mouth
    5" White Banjo Minnow with small hook, fished 6" underwater like a hurt minnow created the strike that this bass wished he didn't go for. Water temp only 58 degrees on a cloudy day, late afternoon spring bass.

    What the heck? Where did this one come from?
    I was letting the wind blow me down along a big shallow area where I really didn't expect to catch anything, just passing through, but couldn't resist pounding the bank and pulling this white 3/8 oz spinner with a large chunk trailer to pass the time as I was standing up and the wind was taking me to my next "good spot". In 12" of water, no cover, late October(water temp was 59 degrees according to my Raymarine Dragonfly) this bass came out of nowhere and smashed the spinner 10' from my Big Rig kayak. He fought hard, but I had 20 pound test line and brought him in fast, with no structure to get in the way it was an easy catch. Still, I was shocked at the location of this bass. Didn't catch any other big ones all day, and it was a relatively slow fishing day- 8 bass 6 hours. This one made my day, however!

    Big Rig by Jackson Kayak definitely is the right boat for what you are talking about, but they are not $400. This is the second year for them, however, so used ones will begin to pop up this winter, I think. Keep your eyes open for that! The issue with the lower priced kayaks will be- 1. Can't stand up in them, 2. low seating position, 3. narrower and tippier, and 4. not rigged up like the Big Rig. However, the price is right and it can get you out in the small waters where there are big bass!
