It was on 12 pound fluro, I had no net or help from the boat, until she was caught. Then another boat came by for pics! I was terrified she jumped 2 x's! 3 Quote

I think what makes it so great this time a year is that it mimicks a dying fish that's a super easy meal for any pre-spawn bass. I will be using this technique for the rest of my life! Jerk jerk jerk....pause. BAM! Cheers man. 1 Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted April 1, 2018 Super User Posted April 1, 2018 Congrats on the giant!!!!! Oh you are doomed, once you get a big one on a jerkbait you'll be like me, 5 boxes full and yet I still have to try new ones...LOL!!!!! Once again, congrats on the awesome fish and on a jerkbait, and just as Bluebasser86 said, it must have been scary fighting that fish especially after the first jump when you saw how big it was. 2 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted April 1, 2018 Super User Posted April 1, 2018 Very nice fish. I am hoping to get out this week myself and catch a few PB if i can make it happen 1 Quote
Super User JustJames Posted April 1, 2018 Super User Posted April 1, 2018 Congrat nice hawg especially on jerkbait. 1 Quote
All about da bass Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Nice fish!! I hate it when they jump. Just the thought of them spitting the hooks... It stinks when you don't have a net. We were fishing at a small lake about a week ago, and we were catching those big pre spawners. They wouldn't bite until dark but when they did.. it was a fight. I lost two a little bit smaller than that right at the boat. My friend broke the line at the boat trying to flip a 7+ fish on the deck Thanks for sharing 1 Quote

LOZSteve Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Giant and beautiful fish. Jerkbaits are a fun way to catch big fish. Love seeing / feeling the jerkbait rod load up. Nice work without a net, sometimes that is scary reaching for all those hooks. 1 Quote
