My catch of the day at Lake Topenemus

[Dirty]

I very rarely use plastic worms and such but today I decided to toss some and get some experience with them. I didn't get any hits or fish with worms. Tossed on a Junebug and within minutes had this chunker on the line.. It's also my 1st fish on a plastic bait..
I really need to invest in a scale. I have no idea how much it weighed. I'm thinking around the 5lb - 5.5lb area.. What do you all think?

yea...I'd say its close to the 5 lb. mark.....you definetly can fish those plastic baits to catch such a nice fish.....now go catch a bigger one:D

[Dirty]

Trust me I will continue trying for a BIGGER one. I am extremely happy about this one. I saw a few swimming around there where bigger than this one, but they seemed to only want to chase sunfish

NICE LMB ! Thanx for sharing.

That's a solid bass bro!!

[Dirty]

Thanks guys... I'm still pumped over landing that fish.

That right there is a better than average bass on MOST NJ waterbodys. I'm sure the April stocked trout helped him get that way. Nice catch!

IF THEY WERE CHASING SUNNYS,THEY WOULD OF TOOK A NICE LIVE SHINER HOOKED THRU THE LIPS,WITH A BOBBER ON TOP LIKE 18 INCHES UP..NICE REPORT..

if THE BASS WERE CHASING SUNNIES THEY MAY OF BEEN CHASING EM FROM THEIR BEDS BEST BET IS TO ANNOY TH SH!T OUT OF EM WITH A BAIT LITERALLY RIGHT IN THE NEST ALTHOUGH THIS IS LOOKED DOWN ON BY SOME

[bunker dunker]

don't tell me its gonna be plastic clams next!!!!;)

[Toggytime]

Nice fish, I would think they are just chasing sunfish away from the beds this time of year.

[skippy]

Nice bass!!!. All i do is fish worms and creature baits. I love watching the line start moving and then wham!!!!.
