From the looks of your setup are you pushing? I haven't been able to crack that nut yet. If you're new to crankbait fishing, make sure your drag is set right. If its too heavy, you'll miss some fish. Set it light. Sometimes I'll have to tighten it up when I catch one to reel him in. Then reset it when I set the bait back out. Nice catch!

I heard they were catching good numbers in Pelba last week. You may want to try there on your next trip. On the drop offs.

Way to go!

We call that "striper" - bar fish (white bass). They travel in schools. When you catch one ,stop, then cast around the area, making as much racket as you can with the lure.
