Really weird this year it was so clear all spring 6ft of visibility , then it got real green murky low vis hardly any weeds , now the weeds ,algae, and topwater mat are thick but the water has cleared up again . Just got in from out back a couple minutes ago. I know the bass are good , just had an epic battle with a 5 plus pounder on the wifes lucky ultralight, 6 lb test, and a smokin rooster. Took me 2 minutes to get her up top after three drag peeling runs . Thought for a minute it was miss piggy but after I got her up the second time realized she was a lb or so short of the big girl. I am so used to fishin braid and strong sticks I got scared when she neared the boat , tried to ease her in, she got one look at me made another run head shaked and spit the hook . Sure wish Shane would have been there with the video cam , real pretty fish!
