Pretty fish.

The one on the left is a realprey baby bass in a custom paintscheme. The one on the right is a bait I'm not at liberty to disclose the identity of. My apologies for posting pics like that, but I'm out of town, and those two (already doctored) were the only pics I could find on my laptop. Otherwise, I'd have taken and posted a better pic. Thanks,

You, sir, have my respect. Glad to see someone else who thinks like I do. As long as it's legal (and sporting), and has a chance of producing trophy fish, I try it. Stitching, bed-fishing, live nightcrawlers, jigs, and swimbaits- I fish them all! Congratulations! P.S. Sorry for the off-topic comment. Let's get back to talking about swimbaiting.

A crazy paintscheme I did a while back.. brook trout on steroids. Lurecrafts paint, sharpies, and mend-it (to seal the sharpie in).

Don, what do you think of the stretch in 25# Big Game vs 30# PLine (seems to be of similar diameters)? Thanks.

Good job Zach!

Yes, and yes. There are quite a few people who knowingly, or unknowingly, have contributed a fair bit to my swimbaiting knowledge base. Speed is one of them.

05/09/2012, evening Okuma 7'11" H, Cardiff 401A, 25# Big Game. This one went 9 lbs 7 ozs. Caught on ROF5 rainbow hudd. New PB too!!

05/12/12, early morning Setup: Okuma 7'11" heavy, Cardiff 401A, 25 lb test Big Game, ROF5 eight inch hudd in rainbow. Went to my "old" reservoir this morning before sunrise, and fished for about 4 hours. One bite, one fish. Also met my friend Henry there chucking a hudd as well. Fish weighed 7 lbs 12 ozs. ** fifth fish over 7 lbs for this year, all on 8" ROF5 hudds (2X hitch, 3X rainbow).

Cool fish Speed. I hope you're doing well. Check the other forum. I got something for you over there

Hope it gets sorted out. You're a great person Danny, sucks you got ripped off. I have a friend who lives in Arizona; I'll see if he can do something..
