Tough day the day before the hurricane but 37 is 37 fish

I know that finesse fishing isn't popular when it comes to bass or any other hefty fish species, but when fishing is tough you got to adapt - especially in the small lakes I fish in summer. Heck, 46 fish a few days ago and 37 fish today are still fish in the boat, though do include panfish and a 2lb catfish. Better yet is confirming various lures that work and the locations that have the highest probability for catching fish. The 2 lb catfish gave one hell of a fight and I consider nice size crappie and yellow perch trophy fish seeing as old they are.
Too bad I don't eat fish - this one and 9 others like it would make for one heck of a fish fry!:
...and this perch:
But one really memorable event happened recently. I was using my Claw design grub and caught this bass:
Mono was coming out of its mouth attached to something deep in its gullet. I pulled and out came a wacky rigged stick and a swivel:
Gotta say I didn't expect that! The fish I assume swam off to fight another day.
