Super User buzzed bait Posted September 26, 2016 Super User Posted September 26, 2016 I hadn't been fishing in well over a month and it was killing me. Was able to get out on Saturday morning to a small electric only reservoir that gets hit pretty hard. We headed across the lake to a point that has a nice ditch and usually holds some good bait. I started out with a buzzbait, but nothing going there. Started tossing a spinnerbait to the weedline and bringing it back when i had a vicious hit right at the grass. a solid fight ensued and i knew i had a nice one on. brought it up to the kayak and had a 19-3/4" spotted bass that weighed out at 3.85lbs. However, i was a little too excited and tossed him back before snapping a photo!! fished for a while longer with no bites and working our way around the point we got to the backside where it was still in the shade and i tossed a "finesse frog" as @Master Bait'r would call it.... about 12 feet or more out from the grass i had one smash it and i set the hook and it hardly even moved! i knew this was another toad. got it in the kayak and it measured out at 20" on the dot. as i reached for my scale to get a weight on it this gold medal gymnast of a fish took one nice jump over the side of my hawg trough and a backdive right into the lake!!! at least on that one i did get a couple pics! went on to catch one more skinny guy on a senko on my new (new to me) gen 1 cumara 6'8" M rod and then had one get off on the jig about halfway back to the kayak..... my buddy caught 2 himself 1 on the spinnerbait and 1 on a 10' worm. great morning back out on the water!! 11 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 26, 2016 Super User Posted September 26, 2016 NICE FISH! I have to get a pic of my T-reigns leash for keeping kayak'd bass while you rummage around for the camera gear, scale, etc. It's basically a slide track mount zip leash with a cull tag attached to it. 2 Quote

Super User Darren. Posted September 26, 2016 Super User Posted September 26, 2016 It will help big-time. I couldn't believe the difference until I noticed how much further I was from the water 1 Quote
