    caught several large and smallmout bass on a jerkbait. then this guy hammered my bait. not the target species, but still fun.

    6 lb. 4 oz. Freshwater Drum with a jerkbait

    1. Russ Emanuel 0
      thanks josh. yes Morris. At first I thought it was a large smallmouth. it hit my jerkbait like a freight train. When It never surfaced I was pretty sure it was a ...more drum.

      Honestly not sure on the walleye. Just happened to get lucky and get this one! Crappie are finally moving in getting ready to spawn!

    air temp was 32 degrees. water temp was 41 degrees. i still manged to get a couple dozen 1 to 2 lb bass in the boat. and 3 drum all about this same size.

    6 lb. 11 oz. Freshwater Drum with a ned rig

    1. Russ Emanuel 0
      he pulled hard, but did not swim very fast. Still gave my light action ned rig rod a workout.
    2. Brian Quisenberry 0
      Did he put up much of a fight with the low temps?
    3. Josh Sommerville 0
      Sure sounds like you got them figured out in that cold water Russ. Nice work.

    2 lb. 6 oz. 17 in. Largemouth Bass with a ned rig

    1. Chris Biggs 0
      Ned rigs are the best!
    2. Capt Morris Campbell 0
      Nice work Russ.
    3. Russ Emanuel 0
      The Ned rig is not my favorite bait, but it produces fish when nothing else will.
    4. Erich Senft 0
      Yeah the nedding so far for me has been for the hot days so I can at least salvage a few bites/fish. The one that was supper hot for me is that half chartreuse half ...more copper finesse TRD. Nice work !
