I was so stoked after reading your post @Billy that on a break between meetings today I ran over to a local pond, strung up a rod, and started scouting for bass.
Still pretty early for this spot and topwater wasn’t working (water temp was low 50s) so I switched to a crayfish pattern and started twitching it. Boom! On the board in 2024! Ok I admit just a little guy, but he had a big heart.
I missed a nice fish a few minutes later - got excited and took it right out of his mouth as he was trying to inhale the fly.
Wooohooo! If fishing had a stat sheet like a basketball game, Billy had the assist on this.
