This catch totally went against the trends we've seen lately. The bite was very slow today. Only a few of the resident LMB were close to the bank. Other than that, there was very little movement and even less of a bite. Usually you can get a bite from something about 5 - 15 feet from the bank, but nothing was happening today.
So after fishing a craw for a while with a magnificent lack of success, I thought I'd try something completely out of the ordinary. I tied on a bluegill pattern swim bait and launched that thing as far out into the deep water as possible. That's where I found this little guy. He hit the swim bait about 80 feet out and maybe only about 5 feet down.
Stranger things have happened, I guess.
