I use to go for quantity all day long, using things like senkos, spinnerbaits and such, but then I got fed up with catching 20 one pounders all day, still hoping for that bigger one. Now, basically all I do is throw swimbaits, just cuz I want that big bite. I do throw jigs and big worms at times, but not too often. I feel if I want quality, why not just go for broke? Of course there is times when I get skunked, but at least I have a better chance at the hogs. In WA, it seems as if a largie is over 5lbs, thats big. I talked with some people who havent got one over 5 thier whole lives up here! I ask what they are throwing, they say rapalas or senkos most of the time. When I show them the normal Hudds, Punkers, yadda yadda, the say Im nuts, but the fishies make up for my "crazyness". This year i have roughly 12 over five and aboot a billion around 4, not to bad for WA, but I blame it all on swimbaits. Doesnt compare to CA, TX, or FL for example, but I feel its good for WA WA. Ya this is the normal swimbait speech, but I have become a believer! Like I said, if you want quality, why not just go for broke? Dan

Hey guys, new guy here from WA, CA originally though. Been fishin forever for anyting, but the last few years is basically bass only. More than anything I use bigger sized swimbaits. I do my best to use 8"+. Although, sometimes I will toss a jig around. I also make my own 10" stik baits, so those get tossed sometimes too. Anywho, later guys! Dan
