As I shoved off Steve was fishing with Mac. Because the wind was out of the SW I went and started on Jenny's reeds. Didn't get anything, so I headed across to the docks. I think I got an 11.5" bass on the third one and then had an 11.5" throw the jig as I was boat flipping it. I then had a pike steal the Terminator Jig I was using, so I put another one on. I then missed what I think was a good bass. I started throwing the Terminator Frog in the pads.

This fish was the result and the only bite I got in the pads. I then pulled a 16,13.5, 12.5, and 11.5" off of "The Dock". As I came around the front side I had a pike bite off my jig again. I got a 15.5" on the Terminator Jig I tied on and that fish did in my last Big Bite Baits Fighting Frog. It was rumbling off to the NE, so I headed as far West as I could go in Platte.

The West end of Big West Bay is water I haven't fished in years and I don't think I have ever fished it this late in the summer. I was pleasantly surprised by what I discovered. I am calling the area the Melon Patch because it was full of bassmelons.

A pike trying to get the Sparrow was the first sign of life. I then had a hot fish miss a couple times before finally getting my frog right in front of me. It was 16.25" bass. I then got the big momma. She buried me in the rice big time, but I was eventually able to get her to the boat. I was able to dig through the junk verify it wasn't a dog and get her lipped. I then got the first 17-incher, then a 16.25", and the last 17-inch fish. The last 17 hit in the really thick rice. I wasn't sure if it got the frog or not. After about a 4 second pause I set the hook and thankfully she was still on.
