Here is one I wasn't expecting. Walking the dog, tide too high and I was too tired (after spending myself for naught last night) to fish the jetty I wanted so I was tossing a toy donny (5" 1/0s) on a small rod along a featureless swimming beach to amuse the dog when BANG this showed up.

"honey, I'm taking the dog for a walk"..."why do you need your rod and camera to walk the dog?" very clever...I'd never get away with that great to see the bass appreciating your plugs as much as we do!

Great pictures guys! Always fun seeing everyone's works of art throughout the winter...but nothing is better than seeing them actually produce!

Here's one from 2 weeks ago. Nice topwater bass from the yak!

Beautiful fish and on light tackle to boot. That one must have been a thrill.

Nice fish on a nice plug...gotta love topwater!

BTW...the kayak bass was on a small spook/howdy I made. We were catching nice sized bass on plastics, but the wood brought the big one up.
