SumoNinja Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 It's around their spawn so these channels are fattening up. This was a pretty crazy bite. I casted out and backlash a little in the wind. As I was fixing my backlash something blew up hard. Then when it processed in my mind that the blow up is around where my bait landed, I lifted my rod and it was just loaded. So the cat smashed it while it was just dead sticking out there.

CG_Fishes Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Nice fish, cats like swimbaits for some reason. They spawn in late spring early summer though so that's just a super fat one!! SumoNinja 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were telling me they get like that during spawn so I just assumed it went on thru late summer too CG_Fishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaswimbaiter Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Nice kitty, would love to catch one like that. Most of my larger bass were caught on deadsticked or paused baits. SumoNinja 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
