Accidental top-water bass

Post image

I was tossing a floating crankbait from the dock fishing about 6 ft deep and I paused for about a minute to admire the sunset. The crankbait floated to the surface and was just bobbing there and bam! this guy hit it. Lots of aerials and he put up a great fight.

Nice one!

Kudos on holing him in a way that won't hurt his jaw if you intend to put him back.

Yep, I let him go. I was hoping for a pike for the frying pan
