1st time back at Cerritos Regional after moving to Garden Grove a few months ago. Only fished the lake a couple of times with no luck but came back to practice my casting and DS tech. Wasn't really expecting to catch anything but managed to hook into this beauty (while pulling a birdsnest outta my reel, lol):
Caught and safely released into the murky water (next to 3 floating catfish):
I haven't caught a largemouth since my move to SoCal so I was pretty excited. Had a nice little pond to fish in up north that was loaded with bass that no poachers knew about. I wish there was something like that down here! LMB are always so fun to catch.
