Big-O Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 C Rigged Eeliminator stuck some more Fish and I ran OUT of'em AGAIN... Eeliminators, Not FISH You'd think I'd learn by now to double ck my Boat stock and make sure I had plenty but that's what I get when I get in a hurry It's OK... the fish will be in trouble next time because I'll have a pile of Eel's to feed'em if and when I go back there I rigged it on a 3/4oz easy C rig and used Green Pumpkin w/tail tipped in Chartreuse JJ's on a 5/0 Moaner Stroker Hook The fish were relatively deep again on a drop from 17 ft to 28. Couldn't tell how deep she was when she hit but I think she was in the 25 ft range because I had already pulled it off of the ledge and was at the end of a rocky slope that met the channel. I was surprised that she had no bladder problems but that could've been because it took a while to bring her up due to a few tree or brush obstructions. She swam away with a SMILE on her face... But not as big as MINE Looks like Fall is starting here in Texas and I'm glad of it! Big O www.ragetail.com Quote

Shane Procell Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Oh man! Ya making me want to take a road trip. That is incredible Steve. I just dig the way the eyes are bulgeing out of her head. That has to be the hottest bass fishery in the country..hands down. Quote
Randall Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Great fish! Love those big thick fish with big eyes! Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 awesome fish. do you ever get a weight on all those monsters you catch? Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted September 10, 2011 Super User Posted September 10, 2011 Quite a Hawg ! I'm a little surprised that such Giant fish will consistently eat that bait. When you consider the size of the Eeliminator, it's relatively small. But the is No Denying the impressive results ! A-Jay Quote
hookingem Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 That thing is a TOAD! atta boy Big-O! Quote
Tallent25 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 what did that thing weigh bog o way to get after em ! Quote

A-Jay A-Jay, IMO the side to side sweep on the slow swim action makes the Eeliminator appear larger than it is and I think it's hard for the fish to resist that look. The overall square inches of profile mass closely resembles that of a jig n Craw trailer... but where the jig set up is compact and thick, the Eeliminator is slightly leaner, longer and with different action. Sometimes the fish want both but often I've seen where they're much more interested in the Eel. Tallent25 and Red Earth, I'll weigh a fish if I think it's pushing my best or if a person fishing with me catches a possible PB Dwight, Those pliers have jumped off of that seat many times... I'm forgetful Thanks Big O www.ragetail.com Quote

Big O www.ragetail.com Just like it reads on the tips and info sheet ~ This bait is a Super Star on a Carolina rig. I've had one C-rigged on a rod since mid July and have had some decent catches (the pike sure love them) I'm even picked up a pair of the camo shorts . . . Yea, I'm pretty sure I'll need to re-locate a bit South to see those kind of results A-Jay Quote
Super User CWB Posted September 14, 2011 Super User Posted September 14, 2011 Just another average day on the water for Big-O. What a hawg! Used the C-rigged Eel this past weekend and got a few nice ones. Will be using it much more in the future. Reminds me of the Rage Shad on a diet. Quote
