Another first, 2nd of the year

**moonrunner** · 11-09-2021, 07:37 PM

Both from down in wild, wonderful West Virginia. The weather was great the past two days, however, the water is very cold. Monday, fished a lake back in the woods in Pa. Couldn't connect using spoons deep so decided to try a Gulp minnow on a drop shot and did manage one nice gill. Still had great colors. Today, I headed down to West Virginia for a few hours and again the bite was slow. Two on spoons, a gill and my 2nd first. I'm sure someone on here can identify as either a white bass or striper hybrid? Either way, another first for myself and sure was a good fighter. Back in May, I caught my first Warmouth in a small pond right up the road from where I was fishing today.(next to last pic.). The last pic is of a vulture that landed on the dam bank(hard to see, black spot on top of bank) and watched me for quite a while. Finally flew off, I guess it decided that this guy wasn't lookin like a good bet to provide a fish dinner to anyone today! Name: DSC01456.jpg

Nice !
I got to fish a spoon for a little while today .
With a soft plastic trailer the spoon has great action .
I’ve just got to find a better lake .

White bass. Those gills are chunky

Yes, that bluegill was still holding its color pretty well. My last trip out they had lost a lot of their colors and were putting on their winter suits. Good pics and I could just make out the vulture. They are patient critters.

Looks like a good white bass to me, and some handsome gills too. Love me some Warmouth fillets!!

Beautiful fish. Looks like a great outing!

we call them sand bass aka white bass down here and it appears to be one to me , stripes are to faint for it to be a cross best i can tell
sure do pull well , congrats
