Punching For Bass With Snell Knot Setup in the Lotus Pads of Cowan Lake

It was time for me to learn how to punch with braided line and a heavy flipping weight so I can get fish out of the middle of the thick stuff. I asked my buddy, Adrian, to meet me at the Cowan Lake campground ramp so we could hit the lotus field and he could walk me through how to punch for bass. First he showed how to tie a Snell knot and the rest of the punching setup, then we each managed to catch a punching bass, and I ended the day by tying on a punching setup myself to make sure I understood it. A very accomplished and fun day all around!

Big thanks to Adrian for spending some of his very limited free time helping me!
