Took the kayak out today to Smith Springs which is quickly becoming my favorite place for kayak fishing. Not much pressure and a LOT of good bank to fish. I got absolutely poured on but no lightning, no problem. I actually enjoyed the rain as opposed to being hot and dripping sweat all day. Caught several largemouth on a plastic worm. One around 14", the others all small. Highlight of the day is the 18" Smallie, my largest so far and also caught on a plastic worm. I caught it on 6lb test and I must say, I have a whole new respect for these fish now after catching my first larger sized one. What a fighter! I didn't see what it was for a good 3-4 minutes and was sure I had a big catfish because it never jumped, just pulled drag.
Every time I get to fish it's a blessing but when God sends a fish like this my way it's a little better
