[Rybazłapać]

Got out around noon with the intention of trying a weed bed for as long as I could stand the heat. A little bit away from the weeds there was a bait ball being harassed by something. Couldn't make out exactly the bait fish were, I think they were perch from the quick glimpses I got when they came out of the water. Tried a live target perch, a jointed rapala in yellow perch colors, a golden shiner lipless crank, and a soft plastic swim bait with no luck. Tied on a senko worm, 5 inch in black with blue fleck and threw that at the ball a couple times still with no luck. Finally decided to do what I went there intending to do and threw it in the weeds and first cast the battle was on. Took about 5 minuted to fight an 18 inch, just short of 2 lb large mouth through the weeds. My 15 lb power pro braid earning every penny I spent on it between the fight and the weeds. Pretty pleased with myself and tired from the heat and the fight decided to call it a day after that. This guy did about swallow the hook and bled like a stuck pig so he's the first fish this year that's going to see the filet knife unfortunately for the fish.
