Went 4lb 1oz on the scale, for a best fish of 2024 to this point, and likely one of my top 5 overall for the year!

She ate a black and blue jig (I think it was a Dirty Jigs compact pitching in Pay Day) with a Reaction Innovations Kinky Beaver in Blank Check color…in about 2 feet of water, up on shore under a bush.

It was also the first fish on my new rod! (A NRX+ 894C JWR…not the Mojo in the background lol).
