Show me your bass

This dude had me going for about 5 seconds. Got him from under a dock where I've missed a monster a few times now. And he had some pretty heavy salad along for the ride.
The bass in this lake always look like Darth Vader fish with such dark eyes.

I also caught a bull frog. Haha! I didn't get a pic of the darn guy because he...hopped away! 😁 He frigging just attacked the 1/0 Pultz hard popper. Literally jumped on it like a leopard on a gazelle. Haha!
He had the body of the popper in his mouth and the upside down articulated "weedless" 1/0 hook was sort of pinning his head to the popper. Just the barb was poking him. So when I grabbed the leader to land my big froggie he landed hook-free on the apron and jumped back in. Great looking frog that probably went at least a pound.
It's been 20 years since I had a frog attack a fly of any sort, let alone a 1/0 hard popper. Cannibal! Or in the mood I guess. 😍
