New PB! my first catch since the weather’s turned cold up here in NY

only started teaching myself to fish at the end of spring so i’ve been struggling adjusting my tactics now that it’s fall. trying to slow everything down and it paid off, caught this guy jigging a little soft plastic minnow along the bottom! i don’t weigh only measure and this dude came in at abt 14.5in, i’ve caught 2 ~14in smallies that might have been beefier but by length this guy takes the PB cake!!
