Fished out of Viola and headed towards Shell Knob. There were thousands of Gulls around sitting on the water. Figured we would nail a few on a jerkbait. Stopped at our first spot on a bluff end and didn't get a bite. Started looking in the water a would see several shad stunned just fluttering under the surface. Couldn't believe I couldn't get bit on a jerkbait. Fished a longbilled Smithwick Rougue. Nothing touched it. Picked up the old trusty jig in PBJ and fished into the pocket where some brush piles were dropped. First cast, hooked a solid keeper largemouth. Next cast was slowly pulling it over the brush and WHACK! Set the hook and it didn't move. A few seconds later he ran towards the boat I reeled and reeled and all of a sudden he surged back towards the brushpile. Pulled him back out two more times and the third time he surfaced and bulldogged his way down into the brush again and broke me off, he looked liked a 7lber. However, he knew what he what he was doing. Was suprised how hard he fought in that cold water. The rest of the day was like sitting in the bath tub. Nice weather though. Water temp was 41.7 at 8am. Jumped a couple of degrees when the air temp hit 76.
