7 lbs 12 oz. from this past December

Last year in northern Manitoba I caught so many 20-26" walleye on the K 9 was deadly on those white fish and Cisco eaters

Added a Rocker to the Rat Pack. Such a rad little dude.

Gday guys I’m on Australia and do a lot of swimbait and glide bait fishing for our native Murray cod. From what i see very much identically to your largemouth apart from the fact of jumping when hooked or spawning in a hollow of a tree not a bed. I’m chasing a quality 30lb Fluro in bulk spool or 100m lots of possible any recommendations? Thanks guys picture: couple nights ago 78cm Murray cod on deps 250

DRT 79 Remix for tha Ghost! Said to throw up to 30 oz. We will find out soon!

Its crazy. I saw so many fish there the other day but none wanted to bite. I did however catch a dead duck. So I guess I didn't skunk

"Every catch is big"

So here is the build post on my wake and crank gills. This batch had 5 wake and crank versions and 1 wake version. One of them is for the 2019 SU Grassroots Bait Swap. Bait is 3oz and about 6” Handmade from white pine, epoxy heat sealed, with wood burned scales/gill mark/details and then sprayed with transparent graffiti spray paints and then topcoated with color shift purple and gold pearl epoxy. All .092 magnum screw eyes, lexan lip, handpainted clear doll eyes. Rigged with a soft tail from Illude Baits held in place with ss pins. hooks are 1/0 KVD elites or decoy quad 1/0 with size 4 135lb wolverine triple split rings. You can walk it on the surface with short rod twitches or sharp reel turns. It will wake from the slowest crank to a moderate retrieve, on a faster retrieve or if you pull it down at the beginning of the retrieve it will swim down about 2-3’ on 20lb mono, then pauses before floating up. When you pause it on the crank down retrieve it will turn 90 degrees which should help draw strikes. Makes a nice clacking noise, and squeaks from the joint, second video below By changing the hooks and/or split rings or fishing it on fluro it will get down deeper and suspend even longer. Thanks for checking it and out, some pics and swim videos. Questions and comments always welcomed -Chef

@tblando rad! Just caught my first on the silver back. Yea that color is my favorite.

Nice Chris...swims great....should get bit no problem....I'm over here on the Left Coast....what's all that "White Stuff" on the ground?? Am surprised you found clear water....We don't see too much of that snow on the water here in Central Cali...Go Fish!!!

Swims awesome, Chris!

Shooter and Maxima are both great in my experience (also confirmed by Tackle Tour Fluorocarbon Shootouts!) and easy to find if you want a 30# fluoro. Maxima actually goes up to 40# also, if you want to get crazy.

Friend of mine got a Gan Craft lure signed by the founder Takanori Hiraiwa.

I had a tough time finding flouro in 30 lb. I use FC Sniper up to 25 lbs and for 30 lbs use CXX.

Sunline Shooter or Maxima Fluorocarbon.

If it’s new anywhere from 80 to 120ish. OG’s run around 160-210 If it’s an OG conversion it runs a little lower anywhere from 125-165

Awesome!! Nice going!

New 70-110 (More depending on pattern) OG 110-200 (More depending on pattern

For an OG that is in decent condition be ready to pay around 200 . For the new style in decent condition I wouldn't personally pay any more than 150 for it.

Big walleye whack big baits! Nicely done!

That’s rad. Good work

Anyone who's asked to join AFTER the last list I've posted has been added in sequence that they asked to join. Not trying to post the list over and over consuming pages on the thread lol

My Dobyns 908 threw my mother and Hinkle just fine!

So far I haven't had one fail on me, but it sure will be painful if it happens on my next pb. I do switch them out when they get noticeably weaker though...

YES!! The baby wake is alive!!

Got some traveling buddies.

Stoked to finally get a couple of these. Been trying since last year.
