Big Bass at Piney Run

Type: Nontidal
Region: Central
Location: Piney Run

I fished Piney Run Saturday morning and caught this hog. Took my bait literally about 10 times before I hooked him. I believe it's a male because it was patrolling a bedding area that a female wouldn't leave. I was fishing alone and wanted to return this beast to the water ASAP, so I quickly took these photos. It was 21.5" and 5.7lbs. What a great weekend. Nothing but crappie and gills on Sunday.
