chefchris Posted June 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Well put the albino to the test and I’d say it’s pass with flying colors fished a newer pond from 1am to 8am fishing was great, for myself and my fishing partner all the fish from 2.5lbs to the biggest at 4lbs 2oz, Scott had the biggest fish of the night which at boat side in of the most aggressive hits I’ve ever witnessed. I had 14 fish on the rat and a very aggressive crappie eat it on the surface, buddy had 12 fish on my 3 piece slammer/pats clone wake. A lot of the fish came on the twitch and pause type retrieve, or wake it for a few few feet, pause, twitch and then hook up. at one point we went 7 casts in a row with fish in the boat. They were all sitting on or around these submerged weed beds/lines. Got to see some epic eats, a few where the fish actually came up and over the rat like how Caesar mentions in his video. It was so good that 1 point we were actually calling the cast and fish, like I’m going to cast right there and get a fish, boom fish on. I dropped or missed 8-12 fish and he missed about the same, if we had connected on all those fish we would of had close to 50 fish in the boat. Thats scott in the pics (I don’t show my ugly mug that often!) going back to tonight to target a different section of the lake with the same type of weed/weed lines azsouth, azfisher, BOZ and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchris Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Scott and I Headed back out Sunday at 1130PM, packed way less gear and less baits. We had a good thunderstorm and heavy rain come thru earlier in the day, so wasnt too sure how the night would play out. Water temp dropped 4 degrees We found em again, same areas, a lot less aggressive but still chewing. Scott had 8, biggest at 3lbs 9oz all on my black pats clone/copy/rip off (whatver you want to call it) I had 11, biggest was also 3lbs 9oz, all the albino rat. Lost two tails due to short strikes or fish grabbing the tail i guess, luckily had a few extras packed. when we fish the moment the first guy hooks up, the other guy grabs the net and leaves his bait out there unless its close enough to get in, So i hook up, scott puts his rods down, hes about half way back on the retrieve, as the boat swings around his bait gets smashed, guess it must have twitched/moved enough to draw a strike, he grabs the rod, so hes now got the net in one hand, rod with a fish on in the other, hes able to net mine, hands me the net, and cranks his fish in and i net his! all in the pitch dark. so now theres two fish and two baits in the net going crazy, were laughing and hi fiving and just in disbelief. crazy stuff. was a great weekend of fishing with one of best buddies.

chefchris Posted July 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Some more pics from the weekend Started taking 1-2 quick pics of any fish that made it into the boat for catch time references, that’s what that list is. The last pic is crazy, lil guy had the whole tail section, hook and tail stuffed in his mouth. Crazy how aggressive these fish can be.

Thanks man, it’s a standard must have color for surfcasting for striped bass I’m surprised it’s so under utilized in freshwater, feel like I just started seeing baits in bone recently. I know Mike Bucca has always known and done bone colored baits but seems like guys aren’t into it for most of the baits out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtrwsel Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Chris, had the White Albino doing some work this evening, fished it for about an hour. I need to get one of those DD stickers too. If you haven't thought of a name, how about "The DD Rat". (Moved from the 3 piece Rat build). DoomDiver and BrierBob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
