Out in the boat with my brother and son today. Topwater bass was the plan but the bass missed the memo.
Ryan was the first one with a fish in the boat...
His biggest yet, although he was accused of cheating because he switched to a crankbait.
"Black" bass for my brother
I found some pike as well
We even got some pike back in the slop with the rubber frogs..
My first though was I had a really solid bass, then i figured it might be a bowfin but once we got it out of the weeds it was another pike.
In the end we caught a few more bass than pike but considering we hadn't caught/seen any pike in these spots for 6 weeks it was a bit of a surprise.
