Between jobs chunker

[JimmyL]

I had some unexpected free time in between jobs so I decided to check out a spot in Piscataway that I've fished around many times, but never in this exact specific location.

Given it was 3pm wasn't really expecting much. Luckily, the water is still at good levels and was just a touch stained from the rain in the am. This thing hit my 1/8 bitsy bug paired with artificial hellgramite. AMAZING fight on light action. Has to be my best smallmouth of the year and one of my pb's. I forgot to weigh it, but I measured 17 1/2 inches.

Also saw many sunny beds and fry in the shallows.
