Saturday I went out for the first time in what seems like forever. First time I threw a lure since March 8. My brother Burney picked me up and took me to a private farm pond. It started off with sun shining and got cloudy and chilly bc a front was coming in. I took a little bit of everything with me. I started off with a wacky worm. First cast by the dock and caught a small 1 lb large mouth. Second twitch and boom . figured I wouldn't catch a fish the rest of the day. Well I was pretty much right for 3 hrs. Threw everything I had at the pond and nothing . I decided to try the runcl c curly tail grub in a greenish blue color . I tossed it out bounced off the bottom a few times trying to get the feel and what it does in the water. About 4 feet from the shore and another large mouth came out of no where and snatched it. Another about 1 lb fish maybe a bit lighter. I took that thing around about an acre and half pound and caught a total of 8 bass on it. Mind you nothing mind blowing. In the one picture you will see the lure in its mouth and that thing worked like a champ. Can't wait to try on small mouth on the river below the dam in the slow moving water areas.
Bright pretty fish. Nice. Thanks.

Nice fish Rob. That's the same kinda set up I use cept I put a 3.75 rage swimmer on it and just slay em usually. Nice lookin rig.
That is a 3 inch set up. New to me. Runcl reels ive been using for about 2 yrs. I like them . now I've been using most of there lures . they do the job well and are pretty good quality. Little pricy on some things but you get what you pay for
