So HOT--100 degrees!--bight, sunny, partly cloudy day with very little cooling wind and murky,'chocolate milk' water made for a sparse, sweaty 4 hours of fishing.

I had two on Matt's Baby Bass but lost them to a poor hookset. I landed another one, just a 16 incher and a dink on a FnF bait.

One very interesting thing happened. I'm standing in my boat, pitching the BB to and around stumps in about 8' of water when I see a Bass(2 lbs?) suspended just under the water's surface and about 10' from me. I pitched the BB past it 5 or 6' and started reeling it back. I brought it right past its nose and then turned it down its side. That Bass wheeled around and inhaled that bait, much to my surprise. In fact, I was so surprised, I didn't set the hook. I truly believe if you put that bait where they can see it, you will get bit and hopefully, do a better job at setting the hook than I did today.

Just FYI:
