[ATA]

Hello Guys,

 

I wonder on what Technique or lure or rig you got your PB on,Despite that I only have one spinning set up, My son and I both got it on Drop Shot robo worm worm on spinning set up.

What about you?

[Russ E]

Caught my pb largemouth 2 years ago on a weightless super fluke.

biggest largemouth this year was on a hard jerkbait.

 

caught my pb smallmouth 3 years ago on a walking bait.

largest smallmouth this year was on a ned rig.

This year was a 7.25 off a bed on a White Rage Bug.  
It took awhile

Lost biggest fish in a treetop " under water " . Tried to free fish and lure with a paddle.....SNAP !!

 

Don't believe anything else over 5lb this year and I fished a bunch. 

[DitchPanda]

My biggest this year was a 7lb large mouth back in April on a chrome blue back cotton Cordell super spot.

My pb was 8.75 lbs on a white twister tail fishing for crappie..I think on 2002 or 2003.

Spinning tackle

[Vilas15]

PB smallmouth about 5.5 on a new wiggle wart...but i thought only the pre-rapala warts catch fish? ?

My biggest brown bass so far this season is a 5.88 lb chunk.

She ate a SK KVD 300 D jerkbait.

As for my biggest green bass ~ 

Give me about 10 days or so and I'll get back to you on that.

9.1 

Rapala Orignal Shad lipless crankbait.

 

Thought I caught the anchor...yes, we had an anchor. 

[BrianMDTX]

Umm-m-m...my PB this year (and all-time) was caught on a Eagle Claw #6 baitholder hook with 1/2 a nightcrawler and a bobber. Between 6 & 7 lbs. 

 

As far as lures, it would be a 4.5 lb largemouth on a 5” watermelon with copper and orange with red flake Senko on a 1/0 Gamakutsu circle octopus hook.  

[JS Patterson]

My top 3 this year so far have came on a Ned rig. 7-6, 7-4 yesterday, and a 6-4. Other than those, I did well during the post spawn with a shallow shad rap getting some 5s. Last year it was a jig though. 

[Bluebasser86]

My 2 biggest largemouth this year have both been on a Ned rig. One on a Hot Craw Big TRD, the other on a 10,000 Fish Sukoshi Bug. They were within a few tenths of a ounce of each other.

 

 

My biggest smallmouth was a swinging football head and a Rage Menace.

[txchaser]

Biggest this year was my PB (11 1/2) on a 6th sense flatside (75x) fishing it pretty slow.

 

Second was around 8.5 (batteries in scale died, just measured and eyeballed, was around the size of my PB2 which was that weight) on a 3.8" Keitech Fat in bluegill flash with a dipped tail, put on an owner colorado underspin, fishing it a bit like a toad in the weeds, but subsurface in the holes. Slurped it right as it was about to go back up on the mat. It was a little stressful with a big fish in that much weeds, but I managed to keep her up high in the water column so steady pressure broke the weeds a little at a time. No real way to get the boat in there. Luckly, but lesson learned. 

 

Both on -very- windy days.

Hey Mike, is that white color rage bug really effective for you on a regular basis in terms of numbers of fish?  I haven't had a ton of luck on white craws or beavers unless it was a trailer on moving or reaction bait.  I know a local hear that throws alot of creatures, and craws in white especially on overcast days and he swears by them.  I've been with him punching mats in late August and he took me to the wood shed flipping a white creature bait.

@Teal

I always use white when bed fishing and sometimes when punching shallow hydrilla or hyacinth mats.  
Seems like the thicker the mat the white doesn’t work as well, don’t really know why but I have my suspicions. 
 

Over the years I’ve gone through 1/2 doz or so different colors, but the white in the 2 plastics I use the most for those presentations (Sweet Beaver or the Bug) out fishes them all regardless of conditions.

PB Channel Catfish

PB Chain Pickerel 

 

All on the Tiny Child Rig this year. A Finesse TRD with a superglued mushroom weight on the end, 1/0 straight shank worm hook.

Canadian for reference:

 

6.2 LMB - Duo Realis Rozante Jerkbait in Perch

 

5.1 LMB - 75 Whopper Plopper

 

4.8 LMB - Keitech Crazy Flapper

 

The last two were in super shallow and both times the fish beelined from like 10 feet away to destroy the bait, with a big wake and everything. Super cool.
