She saved my day!

I decided to do some bank fishing today and wasn't having a very productive outing until this girl made it all worth it. She smashed a junebug Zoom mag lizard t-rigged.

Holy crap that's an awesome fish. Was she shallow/close to shore or out a ways off the bank?

Thanks man! She was close to the bank. She was in the corner of a canal I haven't fished for a couple of years. I'm assuming I casted right into her bed. She looked like she should've been on a bed.

Wow! Nice catch!

Polaris425 · February 16, 2016, 09:24:58 PM

Zoom + Junebug. That combo will do the trick!!! Nice catch!

Congrats CCR!!

Heck of a fish! Congrads.

I almost never fish with a Lizard, maybe I need to change that. Two big fish caught this month in the FBRC and BOTH on Lizards!

Dang! That wouldn't just save my day, that would make my day!

I saw a few beds cleaned off at the spot I was at monday. I was a little surprised, hitting 70's in the day but the nights are 48-50 and the water is chilly. There was no sign of fish on em though. Might be time to put the pop-x on leave the JBs til next yr.

Great fish man.

Awesome!

ccr425 · February 17, 2016, 10:29:25 AM

Thanks everyone! My crappy pics don't do her justice. She was the most perfect bass specimen I've ever seen! I'll certainly cherish this memory for the rest of my life.

Great fish! Congrats ccr! That'll make anyone's day!

AWESUM FISH!! :-) :-)

ccr425 · February 18, 2016, 07:56:09 PM

Thanks again everyone! I can't wait for the wind to slack up and the pressure to drop some. Those two things made for a less than stellar outing today. I managed 4 dinks from the same area this big girl came from.

You know it's a big ole bass, when you can't frame her in the selfie! Nice bass!

Lilman19 · March 20, 2016, 07:33:42 PM

Can you take a picture of the bait. Not exactly sure on what it looks like. Just curious what people are using
