Super User Popular Post A-Jay Posted May 20, 2017 Super User Popular Post Posted May 20, 2017 Planned on hitting it at dawn, but the 30 degree air temps had me rethinking my decision. Instead, I dragged my feet with the hopes that the sun would warm things up a little. It did, but the tradeoff was a semi-stiff NE wind – not a fan. The hour or so ride to the lake went quickly and I was on the water @ 9:30 or so. This is the place that “I had a Day” a couple of weeks ago, so expectations were high. I was not disappointed. Started off slow, a walleye, a few pike and then . . . .Boom. The strike I’ve been waiting ten years for. Six pounds of awesome northern Michigan Smallie. This bass fought just hard enough to take me to my knees, especially after I got a good look at her. Once in the net, she was stout & totally gorgeous. I was pretty pumped. She yanked the scale down to 6.21lbs. A new Michigan Smallmouth Personal Best. The Perch Megabass jerkbait accounted for this catch, along with another very respectable smallie. That one weighed 5.11 lbs. These were the only two bass I got all day. You know who’s not complaining ? This Guy ! Here's a Pic of a decent double. A-Jay and btw way once I got home - there was a very special 'package' waiting for me - more on that in another thread - wow ! 30 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted May 20, 2017 Super User Posted May 20, 2017 Your silence on the forums today.... Was clearly warranted. Nicely done, @A-Jay!!! And I think @roadwarrior has some competition with his "twinkies" picture. 3 Quote

stk44 Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Wow that is a tank! Let me guess, after you landed her you found that the camera wasn't running? Nine times out of ten I never record any of the good fish on the GoPro. 1 Quote
