It was a brutal morning of fishing. On the water by 6:30 and the humidity was kicking our butts already. For 3 hours..........NADA. Around 10am we did find some snakeheads, but they would only nip at our baits........must have missed 6 or 8 in one area. Finally around 10:30 we find a very snakey-lookin area and I toss a topwater bait to it. Get a swirl.........let the frog sit.......one little twitch.............and BOOM! It's a big one and is going nuts! Get it out of the pads and it goes absolutely airborn at least 5 feet into the air. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen a freshwater fish do. I thought it was going to land in the boat from 4 feet away. Rob can't believe this fish's acrobatics, but gets the net quickly and we get her in the boat.
29 inches and 9.5 pounds. Not my biggest, but still a nice fish.........and the only fish we landed today.

Good work...I recognized that pad just under it's tail
Where did all the bass hide?

Nice job! That had to be fun. I am after one like that!
This week the bass bite has been slow for me. Fishing evenings. Last 1/2 hour before dark it's turned on a bit. Tide related maybe? Started to get action after the tide started running out. Small ones on incoming or slack.

Nice snakehead. Catching that acrbatic beast must have been well worth the humidity!!

That's incredible, I'm going to have to really think about getting a gaf for the kayak (Or a better pair of lip grips).
