First ever top water bass

[NAW]

I have just inherited a 12' aluminum boat from my Grandpa.

 

I took it to Little Lake in Barrie to test it for leaks. Unfortunately it has 3 rivets that are sheared off, so it leaks pretty good.

 

While we were on the water, I decided to throw a Hula Popper in the shallow water. I've heard the Largies in Little Lake make for good top water action.

 

I've never fished top water before. The second cast, a decent Largie exploded out of the water, just missing my lure, and jumping a good 14" in the air. That was friggen cool to see them attack like that!!

 

About 30 casts later, one hit his mark, and I was able land my first top water Large Mouth. I have only ever caught one Large Mouth before in my life, and it was only about 6" long. So I guess this is a first time, and a personal best for me.

Well, that little guy was under 2 lbs. I'll be satisfied when I pull a 5 pounder out.

 

Oh no.. I think I feel an itch coming on.

That Bass is great and extra special when he hot a topwater bait. By far, I love to fish topwater when I can.

 

Congrats on the fish and the boat!
