Took my brother out and he got his new PB 4lb 8oz

So what's the weirdest thing y'all have brought up with or instead of a fish? Caught this a couple weeks ago, this was my first bladed jig fish. And my fist Hybrid Hunter crank bait on a bladed jig. Not gonna lie I'm still salty I wasn't able to get it measured before it flipped out the kayak!

Been struggling, hard to find the big ones the past couple of months.. but I did find me a 19" at lake Julliette, Julliette, Ga yesterday... blew up on a choppo... wish I had it on camera, it was epic...

It’s freaking hot on the Butler Chain in Orlando. Was able to draw some out from under the docks first thing this morning as I threw SMH as a tester to feel the bottom contour and whammo. Not a huge catch but nothing wrong with a 2.5lb. Dammit, I can’t get the Purple Rain earworm out of my head all Summer!

Finished today at 101.50 not a terrible day.. had 2 large fish get off today should of been closer to 105-110 but hey we got all month for that …

Managed a little fishing therapy today, caught this little guy and a couple trash fish.

Finally back on the water.

Fished my 3rd MLF-BLF tournament at Lake Champlain. I got a limit of bass ( 3 fish for co- angler. I had 8lbs 2oz before the dead fish penalty and finished with 7lbs 14oz. I am now 27th overall in the standings.

Very unique waterway in which you can catch a largemouth and a smallmouth bass in the same area.

Barde has been teaching me well with the jig. He helped me with the colors and trailer selection. My first two keeper fish came of the jig. Good times!

Fishing the Neuse/Trent rivers here in NC. Just cant seem to find anything larger than these dinks. Lots of frogging and flipping pads. Need to find deeper water, surface temp was 88° yesterday. Fished a couple 15-25 foot holes with a big worm, one little tap but no fish.

Found some good bream beds on the Oconee river yesterday...and about 20 bass... 17.50 was my biggest... just can't seem to find anything bigger lately..
