Did not get a weight on her but she went damn near 21" and was thick everywhere so I'm sure this fish was over 4lbs. That must be over 5, I got one over 4 early on this year on the hudd 68, first real swimbait fish, got me into it for sure, id love to get a 6lb southern teir small jaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinkslayer Posted December 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I need to add more soft plastics to my game for sure. I have been focusing on wakebaits and glide baits so far. Glide baits are amazing, I love the way they make big bass come out of their hiding places. 5s and 6s will swim to within 3ft of your kayak completely keyed on your bait. I dont want to recommend any specific baits because theyre all expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
