I had the good fortune of being invited to fish a trophy bass lake this past weekend. Phillip Gentry asked me to come over for a media day where we would fish, shoot pics, and run story line ideas for upcoming articles. Chad Hoover came down from Virginia to join in the fun and see if he could get some usable video for Knot Right Kayak Fishing
Friday we hit the water a little late to catch the morning topwater bite. That mean t day of grinding with spinner baits, crankbaits, and soft plastics. I threw crankbaits until I thought my arm was going to fall of before switching over to soft plastics.
Motor Oil with red ■■■■■ worm, Zoom Craw, and a lizard I didn’t recognize all produced equally well. The challenge was getting the bait under low hanging branches and dang near touching the shoreline.
There were plenty of little buck bass willing to play both days.
and I managed to break off the bass of a lifetime Friday afternoon.

Saturday morning we hit the water just after the butt crack of dawn. Hoover was KILLIN IT with topwater. Me, I was missing blow up after blow up and not getting the hooks in them
After the topwater bite shut down around 8:30 it was back to the subsurface grind.
I FINALLY managed to pull in my best bucket mouth ever at 24 inches and change and estimated over 8 lbs. My prior best was a 22" 7lb 6oz fish a looooooong time ago.
All in all a great couple of days fishing a WAY COOL private lake with amazing friends. Who could ask for better?
