Had the day off work and the chores were going to have to wait... Got on the water at 5:30 and started tossing a Bob Johansen special, a "floating Rapala". I learned Bass fishing as a kid with this type of lure and it is still my "go to" presentation.
Anyway... it was a beautiful morning and the water was like glass with a little fog rolling up. Was fishing in and out of the pads casting into any area of open water with a really slow retrieve. Caught 1 dink so at least I had the skunk off. Missed a good blow up but then around 8:30 I landed the first 5 pounder of the year. Caught a few more but nothing worth taking a pic of except catching two fish at the same time. Did this once before but thought it was pretty funny. Those little guys hang out together and compete for the same bait. This one ended in a tie...Hahaha
