Willow Springs, Missouri

First cast, lil bugger didnt even let me warm up. Couldn't decide whether to keep him or not, so when in doubt throw em back

Not bad yesterday on that lazy wacky rig with a 4' bobber. Tossed it out and let it bounce in the waves while I practiced not catching fish with my baitcaster Again, sat there for about 10 mins before this keeper let it rip 3lb 16oz, we're eatin tonight babe!

Hooked a wacky rig with a 5" watermelon with red flakes sanko on a 4' lead off a bobber. Let it sit while I spun my baitcaster. Wind was blowing north so I banked the south end and let the wind create my action. Sat there bobbing for about 10 minutes before a small slot bass hit it and wouldn't let go

Caught this little fighter at daybreak rolling a white spinner, Colorado blade through the lilies between the dock and boat ramp. No special action, just a slow tumbling retrieve, slight wind north
