yeah we have few lakes here that produce 5-8 pounders on conventional gear. but with a swimbait well i never heard of anyone throwing them except for myself. ive thrown a few hard swimbaits, but this year im going to try targeting the bigger ones. which an 8 pounder on a bucktail jig, out of lake stocked with trout i think has the ability to produce a 10 pounder on a swimbait. also that place does get fished with siwmbaits, and it 50 foot deep. just trying to be optimistic!
