Finally talked my buddy into going to long lake. And what a good choice it was. Saw my partner hit a nice bass within 5 minutes, unfortunately as he went to lip it---byebye-- tough luck kip--estimated weight 4 lb plus lmb on spinnerbait. motored down to just emerging weeds/pads threw on my beautiful but thus far unproductive top frog then "wham" its on b***h. Thank my braided spiderwire for a beautiful 4.5 lmb[hopefully i can figure out how to post pics here from my phone}. Then switched to crankbaits 6-8 feet in various colors for 6 more smb averaging 3 pounds plus each. My buddy was having even better luck with the smallies on a white buzz, with his big one of the day at 4.4 pounds on a rapala scale. It would be a 5 but for the fact that from 7 to about 915 when we left we only caught one more fish. But i guess i did catch it so maybe it was a 5. peace out and mojo
