The electroshock boat was cruising the shallows and they said they had shocked some giant bass (wouldn't tell us where!) and they were also collecting pike and carp. The gill net boats were also out in full force and we must have seen three or four in different areas of the lake. We witnessed them pulling the nets, throwing carp in big trash cans and then throwing other species back. A homeowner said they had the nets in all night in an area known for giant largemouth this time of year. Hope they didn't kill too many.
We did catch some nice fish, including this one that was just under five pounds. I caught it on a new bait from Ima called the Suspending Vibration 70. It's a lipless crankbait that suspends like a jerkbait at 3-4 feet. I thought it was really cool and I had some fun with it pausing it above boulders like when this one bit. I also threw it around emergent grass and can really see the potential there even though I didn't catch any that way.
