When this weekend started i didn't intend on it being a full weekend of bass fishing. Fri i had to test the outboard so i went to the susky. I threw the rods in just in case. After a half hour of making laps i pulled up on some shallow ledges. Started pitchin a tube. Landed sum fish and then hooked into a tank. A few head shakes and drag pulling it was all over. My sickle hook was pulled straight.
Yesterday we did some house work and brush hoggin in the morning. In the afternoon we went to the local creek. I was pitchin a beaver bait for the first time and i like it. For shallows targeting wood it was nice. Caught a few bass then we worked our way into a deeper section. Around 4-5ft. I was working wood piles with a. Jig and just drug it over a log. Let it hit bottom and gave it a shake and thump. He inhaled it. 18" bass. Figured him around 4 and cpr'd him.

Today dad and i went to a local resivior which is extremely clear. Didn't catch anything all day and we tried one spot before calling it a night. Its an old beaver hut built on a steep bank but is gnarly looking. I pitched a 3/8oz jig up shallow and worked it down through the tangle and the last drop i seen it fall and was about to reel in and i seen it come out and inhale it. After landing it we cpr'd him as well. He was 22" and went 5lb on my scale. He was thin in the belly and this fall he might go 7lbs.

That first bass had a split tail as well. Which made me think of that red eye the other week. First time i seen that. And he would move each flipper independantly as well. Maybe thats why he fought so hard?
