Spooked 'em

cassidyta · 01-23-09, 06:09 PM

While it wasn't picture worthy, I am excited to say that I got my first top-water fish since the Winter started. I was throwing a Sara Spook (baby bass) Counting the lure, the fish might have weighed 1 lbs, but it is still exciting to catch on the TW.

Congrats, cassidtya! Every memorable fish is worth a picture, no matter what the size!

Congrats man! yep there aint nothin like a good topwater bite.

nothing like a topwater bite, and a lot of the times a smaller fish will explode more than a big fish. congrats.

Top water gets the blood flowing

the clear zara spook is my favorite lure...not even a close second......although it definitly slows down quite a bit once the fall rolls in and temps drop
