What Lure You Think Gonna Land Next Pb Bass ?

[Squirmin Wormin]

I've caught my best bass off a black and yellow skirt single blade spinner bait , but am thinking my next pb bass is gonna be off some kinda plastics ,worms etc .. what's your thought's?

[gulfcaptain]

it's either gonna be one of these 4 baits, 10" floating Triple Trout, 10" Mattlures Dead Twitch, an 8" Huddleston or an 8" Savage Gear Floating Line Thru swimbait.

Good question.

I believe my next PB bass will either be punching mats, or this winter throwing a jerkbait.

[notevenanibble]

All my previous pb's were on plastics, so imma say plastics

Jig!

Either a senko or a frog since I have been mainly throwing those, although I also throw jigs and chatterbaits to it's possible on those too.  If I had to pick one, I am guessing it will be the senko, but I really hope it's the frog!

[The_fisherman]

Junebug!

[OntarioFishingGuy]

Hopefully a frog, wouldn't that be nice.

If I beat my PB I'll be pushing the state record, that would be awesome. If it did happen, it would be on a swimbait or a jig would be my guess.

How do you get your fish verified if its a record fish?... you call fish and game to come weigh it?

[CJV]

My personal best of almost 8lbs was caught on a cavitron Buzzbait in the ghost minnow color.

Jigs

[starcraft1]

Either one of my jigs or a 6" hud. The baby bass are about that big right now.

[Primus]

Likely a jig or swimbait for me .

Well if you happen to have a fish you think is a record, most lakeside marina's have a certified scale.  They also have the number to contact a state fisheries biologist.  Since we both live in CA, well that might be a bit harder but trust me if we catch a State Record LM bass, well the world will know as it's gonna be close to a World Record and you catch it they will come. I would call the DFG and ask them if you can get a live person on the phone or ask a DFG officer the next time you see one checking licenses what to do.

My next Smallmouth PB will undoubtedly come from Lake Erie on a Jerk Bait.

 

And my PB Largemouth will probably not be bested unless I'm fortunate enough to get back here ~

 

 

And I hope it's on a Big Crank Bait . . . . . .

For me, I'd have to say it'll happen while flipping mats. Even though my PB came on a frog, I catch far more larger fish flipping.

[Weld's Largemouth]

How do you verify a state record if you're fishing from shore and you don't want to kill the fish?

I´m not a fortune teller nor a prophet, my powers don´t reach that far. It´s interesting to read the replies, how shure people are.

 

 Let´s speak about something with a little bit more flesh, probabilities, the probabilities of you catching your PB are on the baits you fish the most, ok ?, my first 10 + lber was caught with a Rapala Original Floating Minnow size 7 in a pond, there´s some truth in the premise, I do fish consistenly with that bait and it´s sister size 9, My 13.86 lber was caught with a Rapala Shad Rap size 7 in Lake San Lorenzo, again, one of the baits I fish the most. I fish a lot with spinnerbaits so in theory I sould have picked something interesting along the years and .......... nope, I haven´t caught anything over 9 lbs with a spinnerbait. My second best fish, 13.5 lbs, was caught by a 5" senko, a bait that I seldomly use. How about BEEG FISH BAITS ! ? swimbaits, everybody swears for swimbaits, oh yeah, I´ll tie a swimbait and ketch my PB ! ......................uh, hmmmm, not for me pal ! swimbaits have been quite dissapointing in my quest for my PB, heck, I haven´t even caught a 10 lber with any of them, many 5 and 6, several 7 lber and slightly over 8 the biggest one, if I had placed bets on them I would have lost.

 

The bait I consistently catch bigger than average fish is a !/2 oz jig with a Brush Hog as trailer, and even though I consistently catch larger than average fish with it I wouldn´t put my money on it for my next PB bait.

[ColdSVT]

probably a jerkbait in the early spring or fall like my last one

Deep down i want it on top water though...biggest top water for me came on a live target mouse. She was 6.2 and fiesty!

[Cgrinder]

I'm going to buy a 7" Slammer on Labor Day. Maybe that.

[Dwight Hottle]

I don't care what bait it is as long as I get a new PB.

 

Chances are though it could be a jerk bait.

[Catch and Grease]

Top waters over heavy cover, I'm getting better and better at presenting them and catching bigger and bigger bass!
