I will be the first one to say that the fishing gods gave me that one. I was trying some really good fall spots and having no luck all day which was the story of my past couple trips. I went to an area that usually produces in the summer and was looking for some new structure/cover on the finder for any future trips before it got dark. I was just going to mark some spots on my phone before leaving. Found some deeper water nearby with a nice drop off so I tried jigging the blade bait and she hit it on the second drop.
Fishing is like a drug, just can't get enough!

Awesome catch, you sound very methodical in your technique and scouting of spots! Do you use a depth/fish finder?
I do! Actually just started to this year. I have an old crappy one that my cousin gave me, but still works pretty good. Gene Jensen has a really good video on youtube that explains how they work and what all the settings mean. I found it really helpful because I had no experience with them whatsoever prior to this year.

Got a 3lb yesterday out of dying pads on a 1/16 oz. tungsten jig. Went back today and think I caught the same fish on a Vibrax inline spinner. Saw baitfish trapped in a small creek. It was like a blitz on the salt. Never seen it before, especially this time of the year!
Needed a change of scenery. Took a ride down to Plymouth. Went up and down one side of Little South without a strike! Moved up the road to Lout and was ready to leave when I got hit by a skinny brown. Made a few more casts and got another skinny brown and a small bass. Was able to salvage something out of the trip anyway! 
I'm glad you had some luck at Lout. I fished there for the first time the other day and came up empty but moved over to Little Pond in the afternoon and caught two trout, 1 - 5 each. One was a rainbow and the other I couldn't ID because I'd never caught one of these before.
don't get me start on each trouts that I caught recently. Lol
