I started out at my favorite spots in Magnasun Park around 8:30 am. I had some hits but all from Little guys. I sawl some Large mouth under a friends floating house a few days prior so I drove to east lake and casted into every little hole I could hit from the shore. I ended up hooking 3 smallies in the first hour and a half. The first 2 were under a pound and the 3rd one was a nice fat 3, 3 1/4 Pounder though if flopped off the dock befor I got the photo. That was irritating. I ate lunch at Red Robin around 11am. I started towards the south end and Hooked a odd fish. I think it was a Rock Bass? I was dead sticking a plastic worm and power fishing at the same time. I noticed my line with the worm on it was limp for a while so I set the hook for no certin reason and I hooked it. It was heavy for how short it was. Mabye almost 2 ibs. Hard to say, I left my scale at home. Shortly after, I found a school of suspending Largemouth under a boat dock so I went to town on them. They were sluggish to chase anything so I started throwing my plug on their noses and got 2 reaction strikes. I could see almost 20+ bass but none of them were much over a Ibs. I only ended up catching 2 but they were my first Large mouth in the state of Washington sadly. I'm from Texas so needless to say, I was very excited just to see the Black striped on their sides. Some boat guy insisted that I should kill the bass for salmon sake. I was like, I get that, but I've been fishing around here for a year and a half and these are the first I've seen. Any way, it was a fun day on the water. 6 fish landed, sun burnt. Good stuff.

I'm starting to hate all these dang Pacific NW Trout and Salmon lovers! "Kill the bass" get out of here with that. Everyone does not want to catch freaking Salmon and trout all the time! Sorry, for going off here on your post. But, people literally kill me when they talk about killing off lakes for the sake of trout and salmon. The state waste ton of $ on these fish try to keep them healthy and farm raised at lakes. Bass, Walleye, etc you don't need to.

Anyway, nice report and I'm going to stop by Lk. WA WA and Union after work today!
