I went out to one of my local Michigan creeks to catch some smallmouth bass. I struggled to keep the pike from biting and breaking my line, but also managed to catch a few nice creek smallies on day two.

Rod/reel:
-Lews Speed Spin CB300 on a Lews Carbon Blue Speed Stick medium power fast action rod with 8lb Seaguar Invizx line.

Baits used: Rapala X-rap XR8, KVD Dreamshot, and Powerbait Pro Twichtail Minnow.
