Got out on splitrock on Saturday moring. It was cloudy and cool, felt amazing after this recent weather. Started off throwing around a ned rig and got a rock bass and few 12" smallmouth.. Crazy how high these little guys launch out of the water.

Switched to a gary senko and got rocked on my first cast. Got a big smallie to the net after a strong fight. My PB at 19"

I also added a pic of a monster smallmouth my friend caught while we were fishing the Rockaway River last week. The color difference of these 2 fish is pretty crazy.
