Since the last 15 days have been exceptionally hot to be February (today it was 66 °F at 2 pm) I decided to put the feeder back and try to fish some LMB.
The water is still quite cold (about 50° F on the surface) and I had to make many launches and probe several spots without success, but then in the middle of some branches in the water I felt a very light, almost imperceptible bite and it came out this beautiful fish.
Can you tell me, just looking at the photo of the urogenital area, if it is male or female? I would say female, but only because the belly seems full of eggs.
