Here is the video from this past May.  Fun day chasing smallmouth.  The only downside was having that pike stick my hand with the treble hook.  That was rather unpleasant with the pike still attached on the other treble hook.

Grande Giant Mexico largemouth bass caught from Lake Comedero January 2009

Mexico Bass Fishing – The Adventure of a Lifetime!
