Nice catch you got there. Something just makes the fishing more fun when an aerial display is involved.
I have tried top water popper flies a couple of times seeking BIG Largemouth Bass. I got a couple takes, but no hook sets.[frown]
I think the 5wt rod, leader, tippet, and my hook setting skills were all to blame on that one. Now that I have a stiffer 8wt, a furled leader, and a better idea on how to set that hook, I may just have to give it a try again.
