I took a bunch of topwater bass plugs to Alaska this summer and the coho loved ’em!

It’s been a long time since I went out and intentionally targeted farm pond bluegills…I mean a loooooong time!
But it’s amazing what an afternoon spent with a 4-weight, some dry flies and a bunch of hand-sized bluie’s and sunfish can do to for your soul!
Back in my youth, these guys were prime targets but it’s kinda funny how you move on to bigger and more exciting spices over the years and forget about the basics that got you there in the first place.
After Saturday’s fun, I vow to not let another two and a half decades go by without revisiting the pond panfish scene!

Holy crazed topwater blowups, Batman! This jumbo cubera snapper came up from a reef 50 feet below the surface to savagely explode Michael Tucker’s popper in Costa Rica last week…talk about a heart stopper!
Mike said that the plug (see inset) was brand new before Big Red got ahold of it…
You can vote for Mike’s fish or your favorite Hawg at the end of April. As always, monthly winners get the super cool prize pack from Yakima Bait and also entrance into the 2013 Hawg Bowl Playoffs in December!
