Got to Highland around 5 30. It was cold. We ran all the way to the very back of the lake where I started to drop shot. I was working around 10-16FOW. On one cast a school of about 20 perch was behind my drop shot. Got one small bass 10min later. Had some more little bass come up to the boat and run away. Took some more cast and I get a nice hit. This fish was fighting me. I bring him up and he was lunker for the day going 4lb 8oz on the scale. I was drop shotting for the rest of the day. Going even deeper in some spot to about 20FOW. Picked up a 2lb 7oz and another going 2lb 5oz. Didnt get a pic of the 2lb 5oz hooked bad and out of the water for a while. I got around 14 fish for the day. 10 Large Mouth. 2 Rockbass and 2 pickerel.
4lb 8oz
Rock bass
2lb 7oz
