Does anybody know why the 3rd one has a blueish color? I’ve never seen one like this before.

Had a great day in this creek i never really fish, but after today i love this creek! The sunfish are really big here and the smallmouth are dense compared to the other creeks i fish around me. The first Smallmouth was 16in. Caught around 20 smallmouth and a bunch of big sunfish all around 5-7in, was very close to a 8in, which is a trophy size redbreast sunfish in my state earning you a citation.

started off with a Zman Finnese worm on a owner 1/8oz finnese ballhead ewg hook. Swapped to a ned rig with a Pink TRD. What a great day.

Also have no clue what’s up with the smallie in the 2nd pic with all the black dots, some type of parasite i assume.

A lot of people hate these fish but i love them !(when not targeting trout ofc) Fallfish will always hold a special place in my heart. When i first started fishing i would always go to the creek and only catch sunfish and than i caught my first fallfish, and it was the biggest fish i’ve ever caught at that time and till this day the biggest fallfish i’ve ever caught at around 15in. I’ll always appreciate fallfish for this reason alone.

been chasing a PB fallfish on my UL glass rod because the big ones fight pretty good. Haven’t had much luck in a while catching big fallfish but they seem less active in the summer so i’m hoping to get one soon. Still a fun little trip in the creek.

rained all day and than stopped, so i went to the pond by my house and was able to get lucky with these two nice bass and a bunch of smaller bass.

Caught these two outta the same drain that runs from the main pond into this little one, both were sitting on the side of where the water was running out the drain.

Caught both on 4.5in OSP Do Live crawler rigged weedless on 1/0 worm hook weightless

first one is 2.8lbs and i didn’t weight the 2nd one

Paired it up with my Aioushi ultralight glass rod, spooled it with Zukibo Feike 0.6 PE and 6lb fluoro leader.

Caught em all on the trout magnet. My first impressions of this reel so far are good. Had zero issues with over spooling even with the brakes all the way down. Wasn’t casting super far but super smooth and accurate, which is all i need for creek and small stream fishing.

The Smallie fought like a tank! it took me two attempts to net her, definitely my biggest fish on a trout magnet. Can’t wait to chase browns with this setup :)

Trying to avoid buying them off here bc Hedgehog studio is a bit pricey with shipping.

i love these fish sm

This downsized t-rig with the ballhead has been doing great for me in the creek behind my house. Caught a couple others, had some come off and, my buddy got a couple good ones. Great day

Owner Ultrahead finesse ballhead 1/8oz(3.5g) 1/0 hook, 3.8in flick shake worm and i also used a 3.75in yamamoto shad shaped worm.
