Hula Poppers, the jointed one that looked and wiggled like a mouse or small rat, the ones with long spoonbil that would dive. They were all really cool and a joy to have in the tacklebox. Also the rapalla, Heddon Lucky 13, They were classic days for artificial fishermen. Pretty much before worms. Then they came along. Bass will hit almost anything. So much fun to present the lure and have it smashed. Great fun with a fly rod and poppers. I'm still looking at another month before the topwater bite picks up here but damn I cannot wait. Won't stop until I land one on the savage 3D rat. |

[link to imgur.com] The consensus is spotted musky. Didn't have any measurement tools with me but it was at least 12lbs and probably 30 inches considering I'm wearing size 11 combat boots. Obviously not what I was targeting but my first ever of the species. |

Landed seven quality bass none under 15" with this being the trophy of the day: [link to m.imgur.com (secure)] She was guarding a bed so officially it's the first bed fish I've landed. Fought harder and longer than a musky but no worries I sent her back after photo op and she went right back to guarding her nest |
