Nice healthy looking fish Shorty, do I see a Charlie Brewer slider jig in that redears mouth? thats my exact setup for panfish and have caught nearly everything on them with a variation of colors.
It's a Strike King "Ned Rage Bug", it's 2-1/2" long and I was targeting smallies. It looks like a small crawdad.
https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Strike_King_Rage_Ned_Bug/descpage-SKRNB.html Strike King rage tail craws is my go to for bass, they kinda pricey but by golly the LMB seem to prefer them, your hits will slow way down if you switch over to another brand of fake craw.
I will have to try some of those, theres somthing about the shaping of the flappers on a Strike King that give it an extra life like flapping when pulled thru the water at a proper speed,, very realistic looking.
