Lots of action on the water, splashes everywhere and signs of life returning with the warm temps. In pretty short order I hooked into a beast Largemouth using a chatter bait with a senko trailer (sounds weird but works amazing). The fish was 19” and I estimate around 4 lbs. I was happy to have hooked him on the one rod I have set up with 20 lb braid, all other poles have 8 lb mono and this fish would have been trouble on 8 lb mono. This is my first attempt at posting pics via a link rather than as an attachment so bear with me, I may need a few tries and will post pics in a comment if the links in this post don’t work.

I also have a pretty cool release video. This guy took a while to revive and I was starting to get worried when out of nowhere with one big swipe of the tail I was soaked and the fish was gone. Is there a way to embed video clips as links the way you can with pictures?

let me know how you do. im trying to go out tomorrow am in RB for stripers but the wind could be sketchy. will try one of the reservoirs up north instead if its gusting >20
