Great day on lake

Went this morning to one of our local lakes with my buddy and his wife. It’s tough but you can get them to bite. Hit a couple of our normal spots and first fish I catch is a nice 1 lb 15 oz crappie.

then we decide to move and I tell them I’m going to a lay down I know and bet I can catch one there. Yup catch another average crappie and work my way down the tree when suddenly a nice solid hook set. This is big and it’s pulling my native titan around...whoa! After what seems like a long fight I finally get to see what’s on the end of the line. A very nice bass. Smiling like a kid I weigh and take some pics before putting on a stringer to go show my buddy and his wife.

Nice catch, looks like you might need a bigger boat, and board, or both [emoji16]

i had the hawg trough cut down to 20” figuring I wouldn’t need it any longer and for space issues. I’m still happy having it cut down as I don’t see this happening to often....:dono:Rofl

just bought the kayak so it’s not changing.

Sounds like fun. I know first hand what fun those big greenies are on light tackle.
Thanks for sharing your day and the pics with the rest of us.

very nice fish...glad you had a good trip today.

Nice catch.

Thanks for taking us along, some real nice fish. I took a friend dock shooting once and he hooked up with a 5 1/2lb LMB on a 4lb rig. I think I had as much fun watching as he did catching it. Perfect example of a good “surprise” fish.

Sounds like an awesome January fishing trip.... We don't get a lot of those in our region of the country... Thanks for sharing ...
