Hit the lake about 10:30 and had only one bite until 2:30 when I got lucky with this 4 lb hog. Fished the back of the lake out of the wind in the little pockets hoping to see any remaining spawning fish but I saw zero fish. Threw everything from sencos, to crankbait, to spinnerbait and even tried a topwater poper. As I was getting ready to leave I had been using a pumpkin with green flake tube and decided to make a couple more casts on a log I saw running from deeper water to shallower water into standing grass. The last cast started cursing because as I twitched my rod the tip bent a bit and I thought I got hung up on something. I gave a tug on the line to free up my lure and it moved sideways and it was on. The drag started singing and it immediately ran for the grass. As I got it to surface I saw the mouth on this thing and couldn't believe how lucky I was (This fish basically set the hook itself and I just held on). Anyway after I boated it, took a few pics (which doenst do the fish justice) weighed it, and set it back, I decided it was time to call it quits for the day and end on a good note!
