Default Union County Honey Hole: Revisited 5/30

Hit the same Union County lake I've been focusing my time on this season and was wonderfully rewarded after work today. Fished from 7-830 PM. Started tossing senkos in pumpkin seed and june bug colors--nothing after a bunch of casts. Switched over to old faithful--1/4 oz white spinnerbait. 3rd cast my lure got absolutely remodeled by a 21 inch, 3.5 lb largemouth. Fish hit after my 3rd or 4th crank of the reel and put up a glorious fight. She tail-walked and tossed and flipped about 6 times and stayed glued. Solid hookset right through the corner of the mouth kept her tied on. Snapped a few shots and she swam away no worse for wear. Continued to throw the spinnerbait and had a few small strikes. Around 8ish I switched over to a black hula popper and worked it till I called a quits. Had one really nice blow up on it but it didnt stick. I still left with a sh*t-eatin' grin on my face! Here's a pic... Catch em' up!
