Report 9/21

[Quillback]

JEB was kind enough to take me in his boat (thanks dude!) this morning, we fished mid lake areas, caught maybe a dozen fish total, mostly spots. Topwaters, C-rigs, and swim jigs did the damage. Here's me with a topwater smallie. I was walking a pencil popper, it was fairly close to the boat, got a hit, missed it, but yanked the popper which went flying out of the water about a foot, and then this guy jumped into the air and grabbed the plug in mid air, it was very cool! Not only that but when I got him to the boat there were another 5 smallies that followed it in, I've seen spots do that but never smallies.

JEB caught this dude, we think it's a Meanmouth, it's colored like a smallie but has markings like it's got some spot genes in it. Had a water spot on the lens which blurs a little bit of the pic.

Yep, definitely.

I was out from 5pm till dark in the Monte area and caught serveral 17-19 in largemouth right of shore with senkos no weight.

Had some top water action out in 40-50 ft but they were all small spots, lots of shad balls on top in the back of Monte around dark.

Yep, definitely.

Thanks for confirming it. First one I'd caught like that.

As always, had a fun day fishing with you, Jeff.
