  9. New PB on the Wade Hoggs

    in PB

    Posted

    Managed to land a new pb today. I know there's bigger and I'm gonna find them eventually. She ate the Wade Hoggs which was a super exciting bite. I'm not a big top water or wake guy at all but dam that was an unexpected bite!  I've been targeting stripes with swimbaits the last few years and haven't really took the time to figure out how to approach the green ones. The last couple months the striper bite really died in my area and I had to find a way to feel that tug. So I stepped outside my normal comfort zone and started to break down some new water while searching for the green ones. I noticed the gill were spawning and  it was a no brainer that I needed to be throwing a gill bait. I've tried a handful of baits but ended up having the most confidence in the Wade Hoggs. The size,action, and noise it throws off seemed like it would make for a killer snack.  I'm glad I stuck with my gut feeling and decided to stick with it.

    Here she is. A 6lb 3oz Nevada fish. I know it' no DD but it' a huge step in the right direction for me and a respectable fish for my area. #ofisholyreel

    I suggest sending it out to a "Wrapping Professional".  This will probably be the smartest, quickest, and best fix IMO. The guys that wrap baits have to strip all the old paint off and will be able to see all the damage and cracks. They'll probably lay an epoxy coat and then lay the wrap and another coat of epoxy. That's what I would do if I were in your shoes. Its better then having a paper weight and waiting on Roman to may or may not come through.  

    I highly recommend Alex @ Realistic ofcourse ;)

    Good luck my man, those are all solid fish! It's been my dream to hook at least one striper over 10 lb on a swimbait, and it looks like you've passed that up many times haha!

    If you make your way to Vegas let me know. I wouldn't mind hitting the water for a few hours with your company man. Shoot me a dm if you make it out this way.

    I've lost a few BBZ'z a while back and thought that suuuucked. Wasn't until casting off my first 250 it hit me how bad a bait loss sucks. Icing on the cake was the second I casted my 250 off, my buddy Fatfishslayer hooked into a fatty and his new pb striper 100yds away. I can hear them shouting joy and happiness while I'm circling around trying to find something that resembled my bait and telling myself I wont drown if I jump overboard..... It sucked! It beat me up for a few weeks and my fishing suffered because of it. I've lost a few nice baits since. Its all part of the game. Worst  loss was a Hinkle on a 20-25# stripe a few feet from the boat. That one hurt the most cause that particular one was responsible for my PB (I should've just hung that one).  I've since then rebuilt a strong arsenal of baits I frequently use. It makes your life a bit easier and less stressful with the concept of "ish happens".

    I'm a striper guy because I can't figure out the Bass in my local lakes. But here's my PB caught her in March. I'm on a mission to beat the lake record 67# which is showing to be super TOUGH! But ultimately that's what we're all trying to do! Thought I'd share the pics because they're just so dam cool!

    Not hurting my feelers. Any bait is only worth what a person is willing to part ways with. I only have eyes for 2 baits. One of which I'm lacking from my pile of baits. We all know there is a market for pats to go for 3-500$ didn't think I was that far off from what I was asking in trade. That is why I left those key words up to make me an offer. I'm quite sure I'll fetch the expected 3-500$ in the sellers market when I'm that motivated to sell it. Thanks for your opinions though.
