I made it out a couple of times this week for some largemouth fishing. Overall it was pretty slow fishing. I did get some pretty nice ones though. A couple were caught shallow on a Texas rigged, unweighted stick worm. Those two went absolutely nuts when hooked (as evidenced by the water on my lens). The first jumped completely out of the water at least six times, the other did a crazy tail walk that covered a good 5-6 feet.

I got one good one on a dropshot out in deeper water. She was a thick, muscular fish that put up quite the battle on 6lb line.

I got a couple more good ones on deep diving cranks out in deeper water. They had my crankbait rod doubled over and were stripping off line like crazy. They didn't jump at all and just bulldogged.

I caught a bunch of dinks and a few more in the 14-15" range, but the ones I posted were the best ones.
Despite the rain we've been getting, I'm pretty worried about the water levels at most of these places. I really hope we don't have any more die offs this year [frown]
