chunky mini

Went to the creek area up the road with my oldest daughter for a bit... caught a few little bluegill... then a surprise, a small bass took the crickets i was using for the bluegill...

At first I thought it was a warmouth but after closer look it was a very fat and chunky LMB. I did not get a picture but it was 9" long and a good 20 oz. Most of the 9-12" LMB we have here are slim and streamlined, but this one looked more like a bluegill with its shape. I could have set it down on the ground, got a picture and could have passed it off as a 5 lb bass (with no size/weight comparisons).

There are plenty of bass in this small creek area, at least 3 or 4 that are a good 18" and 3 lbs. plus... sad part is they are not taking a single bait I toss out there....

Sure sounds like it cavs. Hey screwball is the water clear? Maybe they see you and won't bite. And that there bass ya caught was nearsighted.

Dang man! That's pretty cool! Sounds like you got a bass that was feasting on bass fry or bluegill fry!
