Between 7 and 8:25 a.m., he boated 10 bass (three within five casts from the same spot), led by this fish, which, as you can see, tipped the scales at 2 lbs. 7 ozs. "Then, though, it was like someone turned off the switch," he said. "By 10 a.m., I had boated one more bass, but the bite was such a drag, I called it a day."
Part of Jerry's decision to quit when he did was prompted by Jeff Lawson, the WVEC head meteorologist, who was calling for some nasty weather this afternoon. "I have to install a boat cover, so that just adds to the stow-away chores once I get home," Jerry explained.
Back on July 26, while fishing the Northwest River, Jerry had gotten 10 bass in five and a half hours, but getting 10 in just 85 minutes today was, by far, the best day of 2013.
What was Jerry's bait of choice today? It wasn't the new "secret lure" of his son, Chris, who "killed 'em" with it last Saturday. Said Jerry, "Bass Pro Shops didn't have any in stock when I went there Wednesday." Instead, Jerry caught all his fish today on flukes.
Congrats on another fine day, Jerry.
