I think that that fish is ALL of 6 pounds. I think people think about fish 2 dimensionally too often. You have to think about how thick across the shoulders the fish is. to me that looks like a thick bodied fish. that difference in width will affect weight a TON! Regardless, an AWESOME fish for Montana.

Had a birthday trip planned for my best friend and 10-15 other people showed up. I fished alone friday and everyone else showed up that night. Fishing was slow, missed a couple quality fish and boated a little 2 lber. Fished saturday with 4 people in my boat (YUCK) managed a few fish nothing big.I fell asleep on the bank for a about an hour and a half, then woke up and caught the evening topwater bite. But this was sure a pretty smallie, about 3lbs. After that, more Jim Beam.... i'm hurtin.

Without a doubt. ;D ;D ;D For sure!

Don your girl is AWESOME! everybody else, bassindon is a hell of a swimbait stick! hope he hangs around! Infidel, dude, I know the feeling! This spring my girl went out with me in the rain while she had strep! I told her we would go home when I caught a 10lber, little did I know that it would actually happen, so we left at like 2pm, LOL!

So THATS why my girl is always buying fishing crap for me. I thought I was just getting lucky 2 times in a row, turns out they have ulterior motives!

You just want all those guys riding road bikes in tights to wave to you, don't ya...... kidding, just kidding buddy! i couldn't resist!

why?

pick cheeto crumbs an lint outter ma belly buttin and day dream about....

yeah since I can't afford a bass boat, i would appreciate it if people would stop recommending them too! of course my 20 year old deep v aluminum has had more double digits in it that 95% of the high end glass boats, so maybe I'm not inadequate :

They both have their time and place. I would say that about 50% of my swimbait fish come on a hardbait while the other...oh about 50% come on a softbait

other than ordering directly from huddleston, that is the only online shop i am aware of right off. i would recommend ordering more than one package, they don't last long.

well, there are swimbaits from 1.5"-13+" so there is a huge range of baits out there. trophy hunting?

what size baits?

Matt and I embarked on another of our marathon journeys last week. We ended up at our new lake at about 3 p.m. Our plan was to fish all night until the morning bite was over, then head home. After a few minutes of going over the game plan, and rigging up, we got on the water. We were going to fish our lightweight gear until it got dark, then pull out the trophy hunting stuff. We had just settled in for a long trip, and were talking about the nights strategy, when on my first cast, my light spinning rod, gets drilled! I set the hook and the fight is on, Matt scoops up my nice 6lb14oz fish and the trip is officially off to a good start. Little did we know that other than a few dinks we would go fishless for about 4 hours. We got to what we thought would be a good spot just after dark. We broke out the heavy duty equipment and went to work. On only my third or fourth cast, my baits get slammed! I immediately set on her, and again the fight was on. I clicked on my headlamp and called for the net. Matt was immediately at my side. As soon as our lights find where my line enters the water, she breaks surface! I wasn't ready for it because I thought that she was still pretty deep. She gave me a monster headshake and my bait came free of her face. [Mad] I thought that the was about five pounds but the real trophy hunter told me that she would probably gone 8! That would have been my PB! I was kind of bummed. I set down and rigged back up because she had tore up my line on the rocks. After I got back to fishing I got bit again within about 45 minutes! I set and knew that it was a good fish as soon as my rod loaded up. I called "GOOD FISH" and my net man was again at my side. After a fairly short fight my new PB of 8lbs2ozs was in the net! After a quick weighing and photoshoot she was back in the water. We were having a pretty good night already, but Matt was getting itchy for his turn! I set down and had a Coke while Matt went back to fishing. I eventually got up and joined him. In the middle of my first cast, he called "FISH!!!GOOD FISH!!!" He was in total control and after a few monstrous jumps, his grossly fat 11 lb 8 oz beauty was in his hands! This was officially the largest bass I had ever seen in the flesh. After some photos, she was back home. We again sat down and took in the amazing night we were havin. We had a celebratory Redbull and rigged back up. Honestly, I was a little bummed that I had just set my new PB and then matt catches a fish that beats it by 2 and a half pounds! I was the first to be ready so I jokingly said to Matt, " I'm gonna go stick my new PB right there". Not a minute later, I feel a sharp thump, and reel down looking for weight, nothing. As I tell matt that I had just got bit, I started to burn my bait back, I got about 5 turns in and my rod loads up, then thumps! She had been swimming straight towards me the whole time! I drilled her as hard as I could. There was no doubt in my mind that she was big. Matt had the net at my side again when she came up to jump. After my painful lesson earlier, I didn't give her a chance to shake my hook, I reeled fast and swung my rod, she never shook her head as I flew her into the net. I dropped my rod as Matt lipped her with both hands. He started to lift her out of the net and said "Bro she's a GIANT!" As my headlamp hit her, I lost my mind, she was huge! We scaled her out at 13lbs1oz We went biteless for a few hours and got some sleep. We woke up to a cold morning, and broke out our lightweight rods looking for a fifth quality fish to round out the 5 fish sack. After about thirty minutes, Matt hooks up and lands a gorgeous 8lb1.5oz fish! Crunch the numbers: that made for a 47LB 10.5 OZ FIVE FISH SACK!!!!!!!! What a night!
