That’s where Miner sent down a drop-shot on 8-pound line that ultimately would end up with a monster largemouth on the business end. Once boated, the fish tipped Miner’s scale at 10 pounds, 11 ounces.
“After that, we got nothing at the cliffs, so the total number of fish was 17 with a 4, several 2.5 to 3 and the hog,” added Miner, who also said he knows of a 6 pounder caught the same day.
Lake Hodges concession stand manager Laina Ruiz-Doan told WON “it’s been crazy good” with many bassers boating over 10 fish per trip with a lot of those over the 4-pound mark. She said drop-shotting purple worms has been working well, and panfish anglers are doing well with nightcrawlers deployed from the fishing docks where they are picking off solid numbers of tilapia.
