Perris 6.29

Wes and I did a little recon mission this morning.

Sadly I landed only one fish on the morning. I was checking out a pattern and I felt a little tug on the drop, I thumbed it to be certain and felt a light pressure so I jerked back and thought I had snagged a weed. WRONG!!
Wes got a shot of the preliminary battle

I know the meaning of BENDO now.
She took two big headshaking nasty jumps and made me tighten up my drag. Then she made a run through the weeds. My knot was good and the line held up.

24 inches 4.7 pounds!
I'll be marking this one as a PB

Nice fish!

Thanks for the report.

Nice Jerdon, good stuff, ones all it takes..thanks for reporting....

That makes the months trips worth it with a fish like that , she was a beauty .. I looked over and saw the hookset and a fish launch 2ft out of the water I was like Dang Jerdon doing work .. I am so glad I texted you Sunday and said lets go fishing !

Wes

Sweet wtg

Congrats on a real beauty Jerdon.

Thanks for the kudos guys.
Wes, thanks for the invite bro, we'll go next week when you can.

Beautiful Beast Jerdon.....wtg............GT

Thanks GT

Do you want in on the Fishing tournament with team Freshwater?

Nice one  Got anymore pics?

Were the weeds getting pretty thick out there? The water has dropped 2 feet since I've been to the island 2 weeks ago. Theres gotta be a lot of stuff floating out there now.

Yes the weeds are thick at 8 feet and less, scattered to about 14 feet deep. The lake has dropped in the last two weeks fairly steady, water temp was 77. I have not been further east than lot 8 in two months.

Hope this helps.

the move off sailcove towards the beach side , maybe in the works , fishing the buoy line on that grass maybe key , it should be sitting around 15-17' I think it will be the ticket ... I will be off Wednesday and Saturday next week , but i am down for afternoon sessions . need to get on a few more patterns

WTG! Jerdon putting some work in bro.

Nice! But you know, a 24 inch bass is usually well over 5 lbs.!..

I was expecting more, but she was pretty thin through the middle. I checked my scale when I got home.

Agreed Komori and I was 10ft from the fish she was long and thin ... during the spawn easy 8lb bass

Considering mine last yr during the salt vs freshwater was alittle over 23" and 7.2 .. Either way she was a nice Fish
