Snakeheads and Bass

Kevin J and I met at 5:00 am to be on the water before first light.

The morning bite was pretty slow. I had 1 hit and 1 fish in the twilight.

From there the day got weird. I'll Kevin tell his story. For me it was a frustrating yet very fun trip. At the risk of sounding arrogant, I'm a pretty darn good top water frog fisherman. I usually have a pretty high hook up ratio and land more fish than I miss. Today, that was just not the case. It was overcast all morning and fortunately the top water bite turned on later in the morning. At one point I was so frustrated that I almost called it a day and paddled back to the ramp. I'm glad I stayed. I ended up with 3 bass and 3 snakeheads and a ton of other action. Here's what I captured on the GoPro. There were more caught and missed with the camera off.

Here's a few other samples-

Today was a good day to get out.  I had to work.  You had a better idea.
