Richard Gene inspired me to do some live bait fishing for bass. Yesterday was my first go at it. Fortunately, I live close to the very place he films most of his live bait videos, so I knew exactly what to do.

It’s a learning curve, but I managed to put 2 largemouth, 8 or so spots and a stripe in the boat. 5 of them measured. I’m hooked and plan on going back for more Friday.

None of these were monsters, but it was fun and, I got to fish in the shade all day!
