Topwater98 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Today I caught this 2.5 lb bass on a 1 1/2 inch 3/32 oz Rebel Crickhopper. It broke one of the hook points off the back treble hook on the lure. The hooks are size 14 treble hooks. I should have taken a photo of the fish while it still had the lure in it's mouth. Anyone else have any big fish on small lures? Maybe a few small fish on large lures? 1 Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted June 17, 2014 Super User Posted June 17, 2014 I've caught lots of bass in ponds on tiny beetlespin lures fishing for pan fish.... Pretty good sized ones too Quote
einscodek Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Yep had a similar size bass a month ago on a small lure like yers on my micro setup.. mine was a Strike King bitsy minnow but the hooks I think were to small and after it cleared the water, it eventually shook the lure off .. fun as hell whilst it lasted tho.. Once in a while the small stuff will get bit by a big boy Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted June 17, 2014 Super User Posted June 17, 2014 A few years ago I caught a near 7 off a sand flat.. Someone had thrown a fire ring in the water... I could see the shade of it.... I picked up a ultra lite spinning smallest shimano spinning reel w/ 4 pound test....threw a 1/8 roadrunner on and she ate it...... 10 mins later I landed her... I played that fish perfect.... Rod was a 5'6" Tom Mann rod.... They work! Quote
Missourifishin Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I caught several bass between 2.5 and 4 pounds on 1/16 and 1/8 roadrunners this year. I've also had tiny bass and bluegill aggressively hammer crankbaits that were nearly as large as the fish themselves. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 17, 2014 Global Moderator Posted June 17, 2014 Caught a 6.5 pounder on a 3" grub a couple years ago out of a pond. Best "big fish on a small bait" story for me was a 23lb flathead on a Yo-Zuri Killifish crankbait. I believe they're 1 3/8" long and probably 1/16oz at the heaviest. I was fishing a pond for crappie with an ultralight and 4lb test, no net, took almost an hour to finally land it. 1 Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted June 17, 2014 Super User Posted June 17, 2014 Caught this 24" beast in March on a 2.5" rebel floater, an el-cheapo minnow style crank, got it on sale at walmart for $1.50, was throwing it on an ultralight with 6lb test, lots of fun! 1 Quote
OroBass Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I just caught a 25 inch bass in my pond off a Texas rigged 4 inch zoom finesse worm. I was on a float tube! Quote
OroBass Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I've also had 4 or 5 inch bluegill caught on 5 inch senko Quote

OroBass Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I can't even upload a profile pick of the 25 inches I just caught Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 18, 2014 Global Moderator Posted June 18, 2014 I can't even upload a profile pick of the 25 inches I just caught Start a photobucket account, it's free. Upload to there and then resize it and upload to the site. That's what I do with all my pictures. Quote
