Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted May 22, 2009 Super User Posted May 22, 2009 Started off the day cruising the lake looking for bedding fish. Found some aggressive little males holding shallow (great to get the skunk out of the way) Came across some bluegill beds with some mysterious dark figures looming around the outer edges, so I says to myself, "Self, I think they might just eat that Mattlures Hardgill today." Yep, sure did. ;D 6lb 4oz of swimbait crushing fury. Had to get the bait in the second shot there. Quote
Super User Tin Posted May 22, 2009 Super User Posted May 22, 2009 Nice fish Beader... But you look like one of the bad guys from Thunder Dome. Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted May 22, 2009 Super User Posted May 22, 2009 That bass had one thing in mind, kill that bluegill getting ready to raid her nest. Great looking fish Wayne, very healthy looking. Quote

BUCKEYEone Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Great fish! I was fishing a pond on Wednesday and spotted a 4-5lber guarding a bed. He would chase the 'gills away, but would shy away from anything I threw at him. The first thing in my head was "I wish I had that mattlures 'gill!" Quote

Randall Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Nice bass! Floater or sinker? Nothing else like it when you can see them, make the cast and then watch them slam the gill. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted May 22, 2009 Author Super User Posted May 22, 2009 Nice bass! Floater or sinker? Nothing else like it when you can see them, make the cast and then watch them slam the gill. Sinker. Thinking about getting a floater this weekend for deadsticking. Quote

Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted May 22, 2009 Author Super User Posted May 22, 2009 Forgot to add in the OP, I put my buddy on his first swimbait fish during this trip as well. I hooked him up with a 6" Triple Trout, gave him some general retrieve info and let him start chucking away. About 1/2 hour later, he loaded up on what looked like a 2.5-3lb largie that shook the bait at the boat. He just sent me an email wondering when the next TW order is going to be ;D And another one is born.... Quote
