My catch of the day at Lake Topenemus
 

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?

nice large mouth...plastics are one of my favorites to fish...a good producer...glad you gave them a try......:)

Re: My catch of the day at Lake Topenemus
 

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

Re: My catch of the day at Lake Topenemus
 

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

That's a solid bass bro!!

Re: My catch of the day at Lake Topenemus
 

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

Re: My catch of the day at Lake Topenemus
 

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..

Re: My catch of the day at Lake Topenemus
 

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

Re: My catch of the day at Lake Topenemus
 

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

Re: My catch of the day at Lake Topenemus
