American color Tks and K9s https://www.clearlakeoutdoors.com/

Hi All, Just joined the forum, apologies if this is not the right place to post this. I'm new here looking forward to advice.

On the tiny klash. Will it be the last? We will see.

Insane trip! You know it was good when 6lbers aren’t worth mentioning (my pb is 6.7 )

My all-time favorite color for the 3:16 Lure Company Freestyle Gills: Mickey’s OG Bluegill color!

Finally stuck one on the citizen. Was one of the baits that got me into this addiction years ago and it was long overdue for me to get one on a citizen. Lost my Gracely 2 days prior to a catfish and this bass fought similar to the cat so I was unsure until I flipped this girl out of the water cuz she just kept digging. Gonna be one of my most memorable catches. Hopefully I can land some more thanks SU. Follow me on ig at Snacky.98 if you wanna keep up with my catches. Lmk what y’all think she weighs too!!!!!!!

Had an amazing trip last week and caught my 5th DD at 10lb even! Also caught a 9lb, three 8lbers and a 7lb (the rest were < 6lb). The 10lb cleared the water a foot right at the boat, it was a fight I won't forget! I've been focused on hunting trophy bass for almost 10 years now and this trip is what makes all the work, time and money worth it! Sorry for all the pics, but I'm a little pumped that God blessed me and the stars lined up...lol.

While the bass were not cooperating on this dreary, rainy day, this NJ winter fishing staple provided some enjoyment. Fishing a small lake, and working on my cold water DRT Tiny Klash game. I managed to get this nice NJ pickerel to commit, dead walking and pausing the slightly weighted TK past the tip of a lay down tree. When winter hits the Garden State, and the water temps drop, you can always count on a pickerel for some enjoyment when the bass won’t show themselves. Chris~~~

Been dialing in a big swim bait bite for big walleyes the last few Novembers. Really seems to catch me big ones in water temps below 40 degrees right up until ice up. This day was 37 degree water temp. A big mark came up out of 13’ of water and smoked my bait mid column. It was a short intense fight and I got her in the net. 29” long 11 pounds and so round! It got a healthy release, I just put her in the well for a minute while I set up my camera.

C2C on the new workingclass zero citizen. Follow me on insta if you guys wanna follow my journey on swimbaiting. Going to try and document all these catches. Instagram: c.aestheticfisher 6lber citizen 6.mp4

Drt’s in the SU Store go grab them. Picked up tk perch and k9 bass

What’s up with that? Been ogling his craw patterns a while and was hoping I could get some DSRs repainted in some of our native crawfish patterns

Solid! Grabbed a couple baits I’ve been looking for. Good looking out. Thanks brother.

I’ve had the cookai and the blackjack. The cookai is lighter, softer, crisper and more refined rod than the blackjack. The k9 felt really good on the cookai but I wouldn’t push it much heavier that that though.

Thats an epic trip! Congrats! I feel you guys on everyone burning spots an stuff getting shut down. Seems every time i come back home i gotta go on more ninja missions.

Nice one. Gotta love when a slime dart smashes a bait. At this point in Pa. a bass is a bounces. LoL. Im targeting musky,pike and pickerel

I think it's going be a really mild December just like the last 2-3 years have been. Odds are good you'll be posting some more nice fish pics through the next 2-3 weeks I'd say.

That’s a solid late season bass. I too am trying to work the TK into the winter season. This gives me some hope.

I was referring to retail prices lol

No fish it till ice, you will get more fish

so like 1.5 baits?

Tackle Kraft.

Appreciate it sir. Yeah, I always plan my trips around the full and new moons and I always try and go during the week, not on weekends. It's a thin line to balance as far as wanting to post about your success and get "recognition"/atta-boys (which I'm guilty of since I posted about this trip) vs keeping it to yourself to avoid drawing attention to the lakes, etc. I've recently thought about stepping away from social media and not posting for a while. I blur everything in my backgrounds or get very close to the shoreline so there isn't anything that gives away where I'm at in the background. I've preached that to several people who fish the areas I do, but it has fallen on deaf ears. Their desire to be cool and post everything C2C, etc to "gain clout" in the swimbait community outweighs the value of keeping others off the lakes you fish. Here's a pic of my boat in action this past trip, lol:

Thanks everyone! My "trip" was 4 days, not just one. Day 1 = one 8lb Day 2 = two 8lb and a 7lb Day 3 = nothing over 6lb Day 4 = 10lb and 9lb

Always manage around a half dozen or so quality 21”+ fish between late march and early November up here in New England. Here’s some of this seasons highlights. (Smallie is PB at 3.8lb)

Since thanksgiving temperatures have plummeted here and the bite has really picked up. I pretty much have a tiny klash locked in my hand at this point, it’s so deadly this time of year. …and not just on largemouth

Dude I’ve had to push a couple hooks through some meat to clip the barb off but that’s a whole different cut right there lmao, the real question is would you be a good enough friend to assist?!?

I see no mention on the LDC site regarding the SI's taper. I prefer more parabolic rods. I own a White Label XH, and have used White Labels in the ML and H variants. For the longest time the White Labels were listed as slow taper as part of their product description. Starting last year the description now states they are moderate. I don't now whats up with that, but it concerns me as that slow taper was highly unique in the market. Once you have chosen the power rating you need, IMO taper is everything, followed very distantly by balance. So, I'm eager to know what the taper characteristics are of these SI units. For anyone who has already ordered one, when you receive it can you compare it to whatever else you have so as to paint some sort of picture of the dynamics of the rod? Thank you! -Carl

Mickey told me this was 1 of 1. crappie crank

Got the word LDC was dropping rods yesterday so I did this on the fly! LDC Drop 11:17:23.mp4

Dipped back into Illude. This 2pc resin Gerbil got it. "Sonoran Butter and Jelly" Thanks SU for letting me share as usual.
