Topwater Bass on the Grand

[ironstone74]

I got out tonight for just over an hour and no luck on leeches or Mepps Aglia so I switched to old faithful, the Hoola Popper. I worked downstream to where I exit the river and after one swipe at it this guy head butted my lure. Pretty close to the eyes, but no damage.

 

 

Healthy fish, good scrapper considering the hook location.

 

 

The camera had been a jinx for me lately so I was glad to land this guy and post up some pics

Thanks Lexx, the lightening concerned me most and luckily it was distant.

Sweet looking bass, good job. Will have to try the Hula Popper next time out. Tried the Jitterbug this weekend with some good results.

I can't stay away from the topwater lures... there's such a rush when Smallies smash them!!!
