Caught my new PB largemouth today in Virginia. 24" and fat. I know she is over 8#.
Caught in about 4-6' water umongst scattered, newly emerging lily pads. Really bad cold front came through last night and bluebird skies. 64* water.
I used a Caney Creek 5" Wutzit (fluke type) that I poured myself. Silver pearl with silver flakes. I used my heavily salted stick bait formula that helped it sink on the pause between twithes.
Too bad I ordered a new scale yesterday and forgot to get a girth
