flaswimbaiter Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yesterday I went to my favorite lake and threw everything at them, but all I got was a three pounder on a glidebait. Afterwards at a different lake, I found a huge fish that was only interested in my BA and nothing else. This fish came at it hard, mouthed it, followed it, but would not commit, I was not sure if she wanted to eat it or mate with it. After about an hour, I gave up. Today I went to my mullet lake with a Hudd but only jumped a little guy. I switched to my BA and soon after hooked my first bass on it, but it came off right at the shoreline. It was at least 4-5 pounds. Frustrated, I headed back casting in front of me, I was slow rolling the bait when all of a sudden my line went slack and tight, I knew immediately that was not a bass. I set the hook hard and this beautiful bronze beauty jumped out of the water shaking that 10†bait like a pit bull with a chew toy. She was almost in when I felt one of the hooks pull, I immediately ran down the shoreline trying to keep tensions on the line and her head down. She didn’t like that so she turned and jumped anyways, I didn’t want to lose her so I did something crazy and flipped her onto shore. (Insert comment about how great LDC rods are) She measured 34†and I estimate 10-12 pounds, not a PB, but my largest on a swimbait. Afterwards, I went to another spot and had a huge black shadow follow in my BA, but turned at the last second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Sounds like fun! When I get a fish following the BA that looks likes it's actually interested in eating it, I do a quick pause, snap, pause and it cause the bait to roll and flash a little bit, like a dying baitfish. Sometimes it provokes vicious strikes. They will even grab it and shake it sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I did hook knocked the crap out if it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
