253caster Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Hit the lake at 130am to fish through sunrise and the water was a lot dirtier than we expected. I threw a g2 shell cracker and my buddy was throwing a jackal mikey. We caught about dozen small fish so we decided to upsize as the sun started coming up. My buddy starts throwing a bbz rat and catches one just shy of 4lbs almost right away so I tied on the 8.5 hard tail. A few casts in I had a smaller fish hit the bait and miss the hooks so I slowed my retrieve a bit and started giving the fish more time locate it. Not long after, I make long cast past the end of a dock and make the bait dart out quick after clearing the edge and this fish crushed it. Two casts later on a floating dock I had another big fish smack the bait hard and leave a big vortex but it missed the hooks. No more action after that and my buddy had to go to work so we called it.

253caster Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thanks everybody! Really loving the drawing power of this bait. I can only imagine how the 10.5 or 11in fish in comparison. I hope to find out some day soon! Mike and basskickinrednick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
