WOW.

Great day on lake. I watched two gents pull a 6.5 lb largemouth out of the water on a jighead and purple worm. I WAS fishing for trout, but switched over to largemouth...I didn't think the water was warm enough, but boy was I wrong. I pitched a similar combo, but in a brown color toward a likely looking spot, the line went heavy and my rod bent over! This is the biggest bass I have ever caught. I was just doing that old fisherman prayer in my head "please, please, please don't throw the hook....please please please don't break the line!!!" I know there are some pigs in that lake, but they have a pretty good case of lockjaw. This was a fish!

Trout fishing was pretty good too by the way!

Way to go Clam Man. That's an impressive fish. Changing tactics payed off big time. Now you have to catch another PB. Stay safe and enjoy your fishing.

You just lived out my dream! I am a trout guy who flirts with bass'n....I always want to switch up when either A.) I'm just knockin the snot out of the trout or B.) the trout bite is slow... I fish a lot of lakes with both species, and even spot the ocasional 5 lber..and it drives me nutts! I'll see a big ol bass follow my triple teaser or hot shot and I'm like shoot....let me set up a drop shot or a crank.. and I get skunked everytime! Thanks for showin' me it can be done...I'll keep on pressing! Good job bro...

Very nice bass clam man!!!! Didn't know that lake had bass. I'll have to put it on my list for this summer.

Nice Bass. A lot bigger than I thought would be in Deer.

good times. I got chased off the lake by the rain though...I was laughing for a while, throwing buzzbaits and having a ball, but I got soaked to the bone after about 25 minutes of rain...and it hasn't let up for a day now. The bass just need to be coaxed out of that lake...lots of pressure on them.
