Bass Ninja Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Fished early Saturday morning with 3 rods. I had them rigged with a popping frog, a punch rig that I'm trying to master, and a KVD strike king spinnerbait with a little paddle tail trailer for backup. Went to a pond that is mostly 4-6 ft deep with 8 ft max depth near where the launch. Super weedy most of the year. I've consistently caught 2-4lbers on the frog and chatterbait there. This morning, I saw all kinds of activity but I missed 4 blowups on the frog which pretty much never happens to me, and I missed two hooksets on the punch rig, which put me in a bad mood. Ran out of time and was forced to admit that I got skunked for the first time this year. I'm paddling back to the launch, and right on the edge of the 8 ft hole, I decided to do the famous "one-last-cast". Didnt think a fish would really want to come up to hit the frog, and didnt want to fish the bottom, so I pulled out my backup rod with the spinnerbait. let it fall for a few seconds, started reeling to get the blades spinning, and I felt a bite. If I could just get it in the boat, I don't have to say I got skunked. Felt it snag some weeds so the rod bent over a little more, and then it started fighting a little. Felt like a 4lber. Got it to within two feet of the kayak, and when it jumped, I saw how big it was. Decided to use the net, got it in, and weighed my new PB. 6lbs 8oz! 14 Quote
