I have been satisfied with bluegill fishing for a couple weeks. Bass not hitting. Baitfish everywhere so maybe just not interested in artificial bait.

Pulled out the famous Hula Popper. Tossed it into some cover, fallen tree that snags me all the time. The water exploded. It was twilight and all I could see is the flash of the white underside of the 3lb large mouth bass as it splashed back into the water. It knew the territory and went down into the cover. Finally surfaced and raced to open water taking a couple seconds of 10lb line off the reel. Turned it around and kept it from getting back into the cover. One more tail wagging jump before landing the bass in the dark.

Picture with and without flash. One fish. Drop the mic. The skunk is dead.

That is awesome, a great play by play on the fight too. Big bass are great to catch, I’ve fished down near Ironton numerous times, grew up north of there and been around the area.

Not for a lot of us. A 3 lb rainbow is good size for a lot of us and a 3 lb sunfish well.... and I'm happy with 3 lb cats.

Thanks. Killing the skunk, twilight surface hit. Couldn’t do justice with a picture. Maybe I’ll get a gopro video camera someday. It was fun. 2.5 inches of rain kept me off the water today. Hopefully, we’ll have some more dead skunk stories soon. Droughts, fires, and Covid-19 have brought the stink to more than me. Go get them!
