Thread: Another first, 2nd of the year

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!
