Fishing exposed
largemouths leaping
Maybe it’s the current or the competition from other
bass in their schools that makes Kentucky Lake’s large-
mouths impressive jumpers. Whatever it is, the fish
being caught by the top 10 pros on the final day of
June’s Walmart FLW Tour event on Kentucky put on
numerous aerial displays for FLW’s cameras. The partic-
ular jumper in this photo so badly wanted to make the
gallery that it launched up higher than Brandon
Hunter’s gunwale from the backside of his boat to get
in front of the lens. Hunter caught the fish in his net on
its way down. He finished runner-up.
