The big bass are coming out of hiding. I have personally had three over 7 lbs in the past few weeks and one over 6. Everyone I know on the water has been pulling lunkers in. Buddy of mine pulled in a 12lb 11oz two weeks ago making it the third over 10 lbs in the past month for him. This is the first year I have ever fished through the fall and winter but I'm sure not disappointed. Was lucky enough to have my son with me today for this 7.74 lber.
