There Was An Old Largemouth Who Swallowed A Spro

Stopped by my spot this afternoon for about an hour. Figured I'd throw the small rapala that gave me luck the other day but no one seemed to want it. I saw a male and female chilling around a bed and so I threw it up on them, the female seemed mildly interested and came over and took it in it's mouth and spit it right out. It could see her take it and I tried to set the hook during the split second it was in her mouth but she spit it out with lightning speed. Poop. So I kinda got the feeling that the fish werent that active but still would chase a threat - so I tied on a 4" floating spro swimbait and worked my way up the bank. Came to a little point that I thought Id be able to sneak up on so I did and casted out off it as far as I could into the middle. Gave the swimbait a few twitches then deadstuck it and it exploded! I swung on my rod and set the hook and had a nice little fight on my hands. Saw her flash a few times and hauled her on in.

Same size I've been getting from this spot, but still a nice little fight and much much better than skunking. I really love to catch bass it makes my whole day better

Nice fish! What's the name of that SB? I don't think I've ever seen it.

Thanks! It's the 4" floating spro bbz-1 in shad. The bass seem to like it around here, caught my pb last summer (in avatar) on my first cast on the same exact bait brand new right out of the box lol
