I went fishing with my dad at the L.A. River this weekend. He was using a 4-wt. rod with a yellow popper and casting above the tail-out of a large pool. On his first cast he got a short strike that broke the water.

After a couple of casts, and a nice splash, he hooked into a real fighter.

At first, we thought he had hooked a large Green Sunfish, but after a short battle, he landed this little Largemouth Bass!
