Welcome our first July submission as things have been a little lean with the “dog days of summer” continuing to bear down on the region.

Weight: 1-7
Angler: John Kirkemo
Date: July 13
Location: Knox County private strip mine
Lure: Senko weedless wacky rig
Structure: Open Water
Angler Comments: Fished a private Knox County strip pit with a local legend as a guide. The weather conditions were brutal: Intense sun, no clouds, high air and water temperatures and only an occasional light breeze. This fish hit a wacky rig in open water not close to any visible structure.
Top 5 Weight: 1-7

Great to have you on board again, John. Definitely a fun submission in the case of this bass as those surroundings look a little familiar. Always handy when you have a photographer on board to assist with a quality photo as well. Just saying…

I encourage everyone to stop back by later this week for another look at this catch and more in the latest fishing report. Talk to you later. Troy
