Today put in the Kayak at Stewart creek and caught four, the last three
were on consecative casts with the last one caught being a 24 inch Bass !! I did not know it was bleeding untill I layed it across my lap to measure it !!

Is that a weight just above your lure?

It looks like a Sampo snap swivel to me, shiny silver.

[eaglestrike09]

Yes that is a snap swivel, I had just changed baits from a Bandit med diver to this bait. Then caught three bass on three consecative casts!
I like the swivel to be able to keep fishing instead of tying. Although after catching this one I should have retied the swivel! lol

I want to correct the lenth of the Bass. I was under the impression that the gunnel to gunnel of my Kayak is 24 inches, it is in fact 21 inches!
So the Bass is 21 inches!!!

Nice fish! Hope to come over to Priest in the next week or so.

[Greasy Ham]

Nice one! That area is producing more now than I ever remember.

[Doc Marshall]

Nice! I was out there in my kayak too, but I left around 11 a.m. I only managed 3 fish, 2 of which were feisty white bass -- nothing like that hawg!

Good luck. Lake should be close to full pool.

Was out at Lamar hill tonight jugging managed 5 small flatheads. From last week to this week the water sure has gone up.

I fished that area in my kayak on Saturday morning and again Saturday evening for an online kayak tournament. The bites were hard to come by but I did manage three largemouth with the largest one at 16.5". The prior weekend, I was out there Saturday morning during a couple of downpours and caught about 10 LMBs. I guess the sudden rise in the water last week moved the fish as the pattern I was using didn't work in the higher water.

By the way, that crankbait you have tied on there has been my go-to bait this summer. I find that color to even be effective in fairly clear water. Thanks for sharing the report. The online tournament ends this Saturday and I have to decide where I am going to fish next. I only have time for about 5 hours on Saturday morning and can't decide where I want to go.
