wtrwsel Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I want to thank Chefchris for letting me test-drive his Rats he is building on the Grassroots page. Not every day you get to can catch a PB and a DD. I didn't have my scale with me unfortunately but got measurements. This one measured 25in Long X 20in Girth; on the Bass Calculator was 12.25. Pretty stoked to say the least. This one must have been watching Shark week because that's what she did; Sharked it and came out of the water easily clearing its body length. I thought to myself "this one is a freaking toad". She jumped a couple more times and I winched her in as quick as I could. Anyway got pics and measurements and then sent her swimming.

Yeah she had both sets of hooks stuck in there. Wasn't going anywhere. Chefchris builds a rock solid bait. I am pretty stoked to say the least.

ewillsd Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 How big is the bait cause I've only had fish choke smaller baits like battleshads or bullshooters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nose to Butt 6in. Jump on over to the Grass Roots page. Chefchris has the bait build up going through the process of testing and fishing them. Neat stuff.

Dirtroadhound Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Wow, that is a beaut! Chefchris is a stand-up dude that really loves swimbaiting and helping people figure out swimbait fishing. I posted something about DEPS175 not swimming right and Chefchris sent me a care package of hooks and instructions to fix the problem, never met him but a great guy. Congrats both of y'all.
