 I was fishing part of the lake where you had to walk through the woods and hop onto those grass stumps that are surrounded by water.  So I get myself balanced and start scanning the water, which was only about 7 or 8 inches deep and to my right I see one of those "V's". I immediately get my junebug colored yami ready for launching, lol. A few seconds later I see the pads directly across from me moving from right to left as if something was swimming through them. I cast my worm right in front of the fish directly to the left of the pads to see if he would bite it as soon as it swam out. A split second after the worm hit the water, this fish sucked it up and before I knew it I was setting the hook and reeling. It didn't take very long to get it in and it didn't put up a fight. It felt like I was reeling in a bucket of water. Turns out the fish just finished spawning so it was sluggish and tired. If I caught it before it spawned it would've been close to a 6 lber!!! Oh well, there's always next time!!
