I'm new to the big swimbait game and this was the first time I threw the Punker. Only bite I got on it but was the most violent explosion I've ever witnessed from a largemouth bass. She weighed 7-15 no matter how many times I shook the scale. Needles to say I have the bug bad now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallyc Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Nice fish, I've been waiting on a Punker since I ordered it last December. Is that the Wooden version ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjmfc1013 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yes, it's the big wooden punker in the bass color. I'm headed back to East Texas tomorrow afternoon for an all nighter so hopefully I'll get lucky again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Ramen Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Only bite I got on it but was the most violent explosion I've ever witnessed from a largemouth bass. That's what's so awesome about big topwater baits. Great fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossypumpkin Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 That's a stud! I'm jealous...I can't catch a punker fish to save my life. Wooden, G2, 6", 8". Doesn't work for me. Nice fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjmfc1013 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks guys. I went back to the same place Friday and got another one to annihilate the punker right at dark. She pulled off. I can't get over how ferocious they are when they commit to this bait. This was a very big fish and hit the thing going 60 mph and short lined me. I was throwing braid and may have had my drag a little tight. Needles to say, I'm hooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
