Nice Largemouth

Type: Nontidal
Region: Central
Location: Centennial Lake

Went fishing at dusk near the shoreline by the boat launch. I was bouncing a 5" weedless Texas-rigged black/purple Senko along the bottom near some lily pads. On my fifth or sixth cast I picked up this nice largemouth after one or two small twitches of the bait off the bottom. Waited until he swam with it a bit before setting the hook with a gentle pull to the side. Other fishermen (and women!) nearby were catching plenty of bluegill, and I saw at least one other smaller largemouth caught. I've been fishing Centennial for a few weeks and the action is definitely picking up, especially in the early evening.
