Wife had plans with girlfriends so I loaded up the yak and hit the lake about 6pm
Didn't take long to start catching fish on top water... about 30 min into it I got this nice one...

A skinny 6 lbs...

I worked my Yak back to a gator hole and picked up a few small ones.
Never caught tailing bass- but I noticed a fish hammering some bait fish and could just make out a tail fin.
I pitched the trusty Torpedo over and the fish CRUSHED it... I knew I had a big ole bass on the line.
The fight was incredible... It turned out to be a huge mud fish.



Did catch a few on jerk baits also.... This one swallowed it!

Great Sunset ended the day

Ended up with over a dozen and the prehistoric monster!

Well done. While the wife is away the cat will play

HEY BMAN, GLAD YA CAUGHT A FEW, THAT OLE BOWFIN LOOKS LIKE HE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE. IS IT THE PICTURES , OR ARE THOSE BASS THIN, LOOK LIKE THEY NEED SOMETHING TO EAT.? NOT GOOD TO SEE BOWFINS IN JACKSON.
PA

Nice afternoon Bman

Nice! Bowfins have an attitude for sure! He doesn't look as dark as I would expect from Jackson. Those rascals can mutilate a spinner bait!

Sounds like a reel good evening to me.

Its wild watching a brofin chase a frog. They put out a wake bigger than a kayak. I had one on jackson yank the net out of my hands. The state record is 19lbs and we were easily pulling 12+ pounders out of Jackson 5 months ago. Teeth in all the wrong places and lots of them.

Bman, you're wearin the bass out.

Good trip B looks like the wife needs to go out more often!!
