congratulations!
don't be afraid to g big! check out what the local bait fish is, match the hatch as they say. sounds like you did. this time of year the forage that have survived to this point are bigger than normal. trophy bass are looking for the biggest
reward for the least effort.
big and slow!
water temps are dropping as well which will slow down their metabolism and activity.
sounds like you are on the right track. wait until you get intoa 7 or 8 lb hog!
