Jay_Paternostro Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I have been fishing the same lake in Connecticut for about 5 years. I dabbled in the swimbait game here and there the past coupe years, but now I am throwing swimbaits about 90% of the time. It paid off big time. 2 weeks ago caught my 1st ever 8" huddleston bass, which was a 4 pound smallmouth. And 2 weeks later (today) I caught another 4 pound smallmouth (both 4.0 oz on the dot!) on the 175 deps slideswmmer. I have not caught a smallmouth that big in years. Cant wait to see what this fall brings! MaineBass, fishinpunk, Beau Carlile and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeepinItReelFishing Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Awesome dude! I bet that exposed hook 8" was a tight squeeze in that smallies mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookedonbigbaits Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Gives me hope! Just learned my local 160 acre lake stocked 6†smallmouth in 2012 and I’m hoping they are this size now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
