MasterBasster09 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Well.. today was interesting to say the least. I have really got into spinnerbait fishing lately and i must say the video on spinnerbait fishing on this site is the REAL DEAL. Yes folks....LumaFlex skirts do make a difference. I fished this same lake with my wife last Friday and caught 2 bass on spinnerbait. I had ordered some lumaflex skirts from JoBaby lures and i changed out the skirt this morning before i left and wham! I got slammed today. I decided that i was going to fish buzzbait-spinnerbait for the majority of the day today. After 3 nice bites on Buzz this morning, it got hot. I decided to throw the spinnerbait. I caught one pretty quick and then the bass started nailing it. I caught a 3 and a 2.5 pounder on back to back casts. I felt like if i could get the depth right, i was going to have a chance to catch a big fish. Well...about 8 or 9 casts later....Boom!!! I had a nice one on. After one tremendous jump i boated her and she was sweet!! She weighed 6.1 pounds on my digital scale, making her the second biggest bass i have ever caught. All in all i caught about 12 bass on spinnerbait today including a 4 pound brute to end the day. Many thanks to Bass resource for the video. I would have never thought something as subtle as skirt texture would make that big a difference. Needless to say i have alot more confidence throwing spinnerbait after today and after watching that video. Below are some pics of the big girl from today. Quote

MasterBasster09 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 Thanks guys! Yeah..the fish did slam me. Whats funny is that after i had caught that 3.0 lber, i had made the comment that i couldn't imagine what a big one would feel like hitting a spinnerbait. Well now i know! She was caught on a Strike King white 1/4 ounce spinnerbait. Gold and silver, willow/indiana blade combo and she was released safely back into the lake. When i got her up close to the boat, she was pulling so hard that i honestly thought she was going to pull the rod out of my hands!! It was unreal. Quote
