Snuck back out Saturday to a secret NC lake to catch some smallies. Couple of 4lbers..

Jumped into a derby Saturday and grabbed big bass honors and 2nd place! Tough day on the water, the Oklahoma wind was howling and only managed 6 bites. Unfortunately lost a giant that would’ve sealed the W, but that’s fishing!

Not a giant by any means but always love catching these smallies in deep clear mountain lakes. Haven't been on the water in a month or so so this was just what I needed!

Kind of an 2 part question here, Any opinions on catching a Giant using FFS vs just fishing traditionally, does it take a little credibility away from the catch? How about using a minnow bait vs a Swimbait? My personal take is a Giant is a Giant no matter the technology/technique but wanna hear yalls thoughts.
