Wow, what a sad picture. That fish just looked wrong!
I haven't seen a bass with that big head and super small body in a long time. We've all said it before, the balance in the lake is way out of control. May it be eradicating the red devils, slot limits for Tucs, planting more bluegills, something needs to be done.
I remember years past, when we had a local lake here in San Diego that had an "out of balance" fishery. Slot limits was put in place for largemouth bass, more forage fish in place, a couple years later, it worked out great. It's all about the "balance."
As for the small baits, try drop shot. Shaky head lures work too.
Stan, I think its time for you to come out with the,"Stan Wright Bama rig" Instead of 5 baits, go more. More baits on your line, the "mo beta fish'n!"
Happy holidays all!!
