Another eventful evening at Beaver! I managed to land the bass that got away last week (or at least a comparable one.) When the ripples in the water finally settled, I managed to bring in my limit of LM bass. The largest (see pictures) was just a hair over 17" with the others being in the 9-11" range. The big one stretched the heck out of my 8# line. I had to throw away nearly 25' of it. I finally was able to bring home a decent meal for my family (normally I C&R) but this was too good of a day.
I started out with topwaters and got ZERO action, moved on to spinners/spoons, and finally to plastics. I had a ton of action and all my success using a twin tail Yamamoto grub texas rigged w/ a smooth and consistent retrieve. I was glad I stuck out the early afternoon rain and was able to take advantage of the nearly barren lake and placid waters. I stuck to the areas around and between the docks in roughly 5-10' of water.

Thanks for the tip Bass Tracker! Thumbing the jaw worked great, no net needed.

On a side note: Please pick up after yourselves if you are using the boat launch. I spent quite a while picking up all the trash littering the whole area, enough to fill to large Joes bags! I have sent an email to Sammamish P&R to see if we can get a trashcan put there otherwise I will go out and buy one and hopefully it will get used.
