Another short trip to a close lake produces excitement. I literally was there at 7:10am and it warmed up quick (both the bite and the heat). Started off with my usuals: topwater bait and my trusty Rapala X-rap. There was a leaning tree providing some shade in the shallow shore line. Through out the topwater a few times and noticed a bass glance at it as it passed by but that’s as close as it got. Was not sure if it was my presentation or if they weren’t interested.

Rebel Pop-R Magnum
Rapala X-Rap - Silver
Switched to my X-Rap and on the second cast, I caught the first fish. Boy, was this a great first fish. A true PIG… Weighing in at about 6 1/2#, this monster popped out of the shadow and simply swallowed it. Had two nice jumps but I was able to bring it in quickly as it was only a few feet from the shore line.
After getting my composure, I flipped between a senko and a french fry but it seemed the fish wanted a quick presentation. Went back to the X-rap and on about the third cast, another nice bass took the bait. This one was not as big as the first one, but still had some weight; 4.7 lbs. of muscle.

That is a nice catch, good going. Maybe if your in the SW area, we could join up with you this weekend.
Thanks for the compliments. It sure was fun bringing those two in. I should be around this weekend. I’ll give you a ring.
Great Fish and nice Blog, keep it up!
