That is a very nice LMB you have laying there! Be sure to be gentle with its jaw so it will grow very big and test your might and skill one day!
I've fished just about every live bait, hard and soft bait imanageable when going after both LMB and SMB. As long as you have the patience, soft plastics are always productive for me. I found and that the first thing to learn was picking the right colors for my surroundings, water and weather. After that, drop shot away and the fish will play! Good luck and good fish'n!
