Been out twice this week.  First outing I got interrupted by a work call and watched multiple keeper bass suddenly apear and swim past while I walked back to the truck...

Today i took out a new 7'6 3wt I picked up on clearance from cabelas.  It's a cheap rod but fills a hole I had for small creeks and streams.  Those of you who've seen me cast understand a better rod is wasted on my ugly side arm cast I do with my bum shoulder lol

Caught 2 bass and 2 gills on a wooly bugger. Fish were really cold to the touch still so they were a bit sluggish.

First fish of 2023 was the monster below!  Making John and Ham proud micro fishing with the long rod 😆 

I guess the bright side is they should only get bigger from here on out! 

Now that's my kind of bass!
