Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted May 19, 2013 Super User Posted May 19, 2013 Oh, I've known ol' Deep for a while now. We share the same affliction. Quote
hookset on 3 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Deep, you are a Beast with a swimbait!. I remember when you started to really go hardcore on the big baits. I commend you because it almost like Musky fishing, where a keeper is a fish of 1,000 casts, as they say. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted May 20, 2013 Super User Posted May 20, 2013 Oh man. Feed the fire! Nice! Jeff Quote

Super User Bankbeater Posted May 21, 2013 Super User Posted May 21, 2013 Wow! That is a nice fish. Quote
quanjig Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 That's a great fish anywhere, very special here in Va, great job! Quote
Nice_Bass Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Thanks gents. Yes Sir. Congrats- question for you- how has your hookup ratio been with the weedless? Quote
Fish Chris Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Wow ! That is a great looking fish ! Bet it ripped :-) Yea' buddy Continued success to you Fish Quote
Super User deep Posted May 22, 2013 Author Super User Posted May 22, 2013 Congrats- question for you- how has your hookup ratio been with the weedless? Thanks. So far a hundred percent, But this was only like the ninth or tenth fish I've caught with the 8" weedless, so that ratio probably doesn't mean much... With the braid and an XH swimbait rod (different from an XH regular bass rod) I don't have any problems driving the hook home. I did notice though that the hook makes a pretty big hole in the mouth of the fish (if hooked nearer to the lips), and that's not good; neither for the fish nor for the chances of my landing her...

Bet it ripped :-) Yea' buddy Continued success to you Fish Hey Chris, your post means a lot to me. Thanks. Did you take your site down? I have been hunting a DD (not sure if there's one in this reservoir, but if there is one, I'm going to catch her sooner or later) and was hoping to get a pic on your site when I catch her... Quote

Thanks. Much the same setup minus braid but mine has been a bit lower % than that- roughly half over 2 years or so. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted May 22, 2013 Super User Posted May 22, 2013 Good grief! Nice work, Deep! Quote

Hey Deep, yea', my site has been down for a couple months. Might republish it one of these days, but I dunno..... Just a time and effort thing. Peace, Fish Quote
