Man, was this guy was a fun one! I used my son's Shakespeare micro series which he uses for panfish and the drag was set (unknowingly) with A LOT of give. Man did this guy feel like a monster! By the time I got him in to the shore, my hand was pretty shaky from the adrenaline so apologies for not being to see the coloration on this awesome fish. I tried pulling the contrast back to cut out my lantern's light. Fun night and my first bass caught at Levittown Lake this year!
