I would like to ask about the bait if you don't mind. I can see it is small, is it 1/16 ??

It is the bass pro micro spin in the 1/8 size

Looks like a drum.

Drum.....aka sheepshead in some parts of the country. Hard fighters! Fun to catch!

It is a smallmouth. A drum with a smallmouth!!!!!

thats what i was thinking, thanks for the clarification

Very obviously a drum. And one of the best fighting fish in the river....and plentiful and also good to eat. Great flavor to them, slightly chewy texture.And that's a nice one there!
