Squeezed in another night trip on Monday night!
Being just 24 hours after the Super Moon, the night was pretty bright with a near full moon, but intermittent high clouds took the edge off the moonlight a little bit.
Landed 3 bass and had a couple of really nice misses on various topwater baits. The 3 bass I landed were 2 1/2 lbs. 3 lbs. and this beast, at 6 lbs. even!

She delicately inhaled a Hawgstomper buzzbait in water less than 2 feet deep, right near a small lily pad bed. There was no other cover anywhere near these pads, so either she was cruising, or she came from underneath those pads.
As I said, she delicately inhaled the bait, with just a tiny slurp. But once I set the hook I knew immediately that it was a really good fish.
I didn't have my net handy, so I played it to the boat and lipped it. Was glad to get a firm grip on it after playing ti all the way to the boat and having her spend a fair amount of time under the boat as she tried to run to deeper water (whew)
I know I keep saying that I probably won't get out at night any more this year, but with the forecast for the rest of this week and into next week, I think I can safely say this was my last night trip of 2015 :'l :'l
But what a way to end the night fishing season! :thumbup:

Here's another shot of this fish, after I tweaked it a bit.

I'm starting to get pretty comfortable with tweaking and enhancing fishing and outdoor pics (yes)

What filter, or program do you use to make that effect ?

@JackJ I just noticed this morning that you had asked this question about one of the other photos I had posted in the gallery, so I replied there. But basically it's the stock photo editing software on my Android phone and tablet.
It's not a single filter, but several of them used together until I get it to look the way I want it to. Still playing around a lot and getting used to it all, but way more comfortable with it now than I was two weeks ago (yes)

Awesome! ...Nice fish, Curt! ....and on a buzzbait to boot! :)
It appears that there is a weenie worm or some appendage sticking out of and over the fishes top lip?? ....a special traiker on that thar buzzer Curt, hmm?? ;) ;)
Yessir!, Nice way to end your season! :thumbup:

Thanks @Buzzbait!
Nope... No special trailer. In fact, I don't use any trailer on my buzzbaits at all. No plastic trailer and no trailer hook.
My guess is that's probably a piece of the skirt you're seeing ;)
