Managed to wiggle away from the noise of an all day home hunt and hit Farrington from 4-8ish. Met up with my buddy Steve by the lake.

Started with senkos, then spinnerbaits, then frogs and mice. Steve nailed a small bass (senko) and a dart (spinnerbait) in the first half of the outing. As we trudged on, I kept throwing the spinnerbait and he switched to a frog. He was about 10-15 yards from me flingin' the frog into thick pads and I was working the the outside edge. I was watching his frog chug and pop thru the bevy of greens when it got crushed. Sounded like a someone threw a bowling ball in the water lol. A second later, as I wasnt paying attention, my spinnerbait got pummeled from a larry booming outta the pad cover. Two on! Held the fish side by side--I lost. His fish was pretty solid. I'd say safe bet of 2.5-3 lbs.

I switched to the live target mouse after that. Lil' f'er has some serious action on it when you steadily retrieve and twitch. That tail is something else! Had one slurp-n-burp on it that i didnt come tight on.

That was all she wrote... No pics. We were pretty lazy lol...

Top water frog....no funner way to get'em than that. Those things are addictive for sure. Nice job.
