Back in the saddle on Russell

Been to long off the water so it was great getting on the lake. Wanted to go to all the lakes I fish but decided to spend a few hours on Russell to get back use to the saddle :)

The lake didn't disappoint just the wrong spices. The bass was on fire and no matter where I fished the bass was there waiting. I do enjoy catching them too as they are a lot of fun and not bad eating neither.
Didn't keep any of them but ended the day after 2- 1/2 hours of fishing catching 17 bass and one crappie. Nothing real big with most running 12 to 14'' and a couple longer.

Great to be able to get out again! Enjoy every trip like it is your last because we never know when it may be.

Few pics and a short video,
