pretty sure someone actually caught one on a big rat can't find it but it was freaking massive

Westin Freddy the Frog???? approx 7 inches (not really big but still)

That actually made me spit out my drink

Video removed???

@Loganodum38 I am up in Spartanburg and often we go to the beach in North Myrtle. huh, its cool to know other people in sc actually swimbait. The pond next to ours I don't know the exact depth but I think it is probably max 12 or 15. What are some of your go-to swimbaits for winter? All year round?

Ok, thanks for the advice!

hmmm - I have never thought about doing that. That's combining the three things I like most about fishing swimbaits, blade baits, and big fish. is there any way to make that weedless? Maybe just a large swim jig with a 6-inch swimbait? (the pond that I fish in has a lot of algae and wood in it). Thanks for the long response, picture, tips, and chatterbait setup btw. I will defiantly be trying that soon.

Ok, thanks for the tips!!

so 68 rather than 8?? and what sink rate do yall think?

trying to get my hands on one - how much better are hudds?

I need help. I mainly fish two ponds, one is on our property(6acre) and the other is a 4ish acre pond on a country club next to my house. They stock this pond with trout every-year and I know that someone caught a 12 in there a couple of years ago. I have also caught an 8.5 in there on a small swimbait. the trout have not been stocked yet but will be stocked soon. I have been throwing an 8-inch savage gear trout for probably over 30 hours the past months in search of my first swimbait fish, but have had no luck. some followers, but only in the spring/spawn time. I have tried slow rolling/ bumping bottom, waking, and just in the middle of the water column. Can anyone point me in the right direction of what I am doing wrong here?

I have no idea, the video title translates into something strange also. Wish I understood why and how they throw those baits too

ps I don't know Japanese so can't figure out what this lure is or where it came from

go to 1:57 - i did some digging and that bait is 48 cm and they claim 50 oz (yes 50) here is a swim video and I would expect something similar from this new mother (that glide is WIDE)

Ahh, I just realized I posted this under flipside . Thanks so much and I will next time post questions under the underground. Thanks

Ok sweet what was the lightest bait you could throw. heaviest? Also, have you heard anything about the Livingston viper 8 inch? It seems to be pretty cheesy, with the sound and all, but considering i can get one for 16 bucks it kinda sounds like a steal.

I have caught my PB on a swimbait (8.6lb), and have been hooked since then. I didn't have the proper gear to throw a swimbait, but now I am looking for a setup. I am thinking of getting a Daiwa dx Extra heavy or heavy with a Shimano Cardiff. Does anyone know what the actual limits of these rod ratings are? I have heard some people say that they are underpowered, and others overpowered? what are some essential baits that I should get? Thinking of a glide bait, a soft bait, some type of waking bait. I primarily fish ponds with bluegill, but sometimes hit places with shad. I have caught my PB on a swimbait (8.6lb), and have been hooked since then. Another question, Is it within reason to catch a double-digit bass in sc or not?
