Caught these two fish on back to back casts. Temperature was 21 degrees on 9 November 1996 at Lake Murray.

Caught the 6 pounds and 5 ounces using a 1 ounce white spinnerbait, letting it slowly helicopter down at a brush pile.

After putting the first fish in the live well, turned around and saw some fish breaking the top of the water in the middle of the cove. Casted the same spinnerbait out past where the fish was feeding. Slowly retrieved the spinnerbait, and the 7 pounds and 3 ouncer hit it hard.

I threw another cast in the same spot, and caught a third fish, but it was too small to weigh in, so I released it.

Both fish was released alive after weigh-in.

Caught this 5 pound largemouth bass at Lake Marion, May 29, 1999. Was caught with a white Zoom floating worm, in the inlet of Polly's Landing. Was released alive back into the lake.
