Caught this 6 1/4 lb fish in exciting circumstances and it has to be one of the blackest bass I've seen, the picture doesn't do the colours justice really but you can see that even the lips are blackish. I was fishing a shallow weedy area that I have done well on over previous months but have neglected recently and it was a classic scenario. Tide rising with the light fading, fishing a shallow runner and on the third or fourth retrieve with lure only a few feet from my rod top one almighty swirl and bang, its fish on !!
