Best top water lure for big fish you have found?
That thing is soooo much bigger than 13. I know he considers it a 15, but it looks significantly bigger than that to me too.

Getting serious with a fly rod.
line that properly matches your rod is critical. Consider up lining one weight if you are struggling for distance. Accelerate smoothly when starting the forward or backward stroke, dont jerk. Jerking unloads the rod. Stop your rod abruptly at the end of the forward and backward stroke. Abruptly! Allow the line to lay out behind you and load the rod before starting your forward motion. A good fly cast takes a whole let less work and movement than a bad one. Great rods can be had for under $250. Convention states that slower rods are easier to learn. After ten years of passive fly fishing, I got a very fast rod and actually learned how to cast. To recap: Line! Go to a shop, any shop worth their salt will have demo reels filled with demo line to put on your rod and cast in the parking lot under expert supervision. Abrupt stops this shoots the line back with more energy, thus, your rod loads better, which translates into a lot more energy to send forward. Wait let the line lay out behind you and load the rod before starting forward. and in case it still isnt clear LOAD THE ROD! These tips brought to you by the neighborhood bass fisherman turned fly fishing hack ;D

Why do we still see vertical holds with large fish?
So, when confronted by facts and opinions contrary to your own, you are going to disregard them and continue spouting rhetoric?

Why do we still see vertical holds with large fish?
According to my fisheries biologist friend, who studied largemouth growth in school, and is a better big bass fisherman than anyone in this thread, vertical is fine. That is good enough for me.

A Change to Big Bait Tactics???
Forget the tube bait. Get a mattlures hardgill floater, a 6" huddleston, and a 7" mission fish. Fish the most prime structure your lake has to offer.

Why do we still see vertical holds with large fish?
Every single fish I have caught over 10 I have held vertically by the jaw. I will continue to do so. It does no harm. How you plan on weighing that fish without hanging it by the jaw?

The next "big thing"
Theyve been doing it in the salt out here for years. I'm not interested.

A Change to Big Bait Tactics???
Define big baits. If you are gonna fish the 4+oz baits, you will not get a bite every trip. Sometimes many trips without a bite.

So I guess if I get any "Hey! thanks for letting me borrow that Gloonis fishing pole" messages out of the blue, I will lie through my teeth.

Save California's Fisheries
OH man! That is awesome. They have resigned themselves to not treat the lake again. So if they show back up, they are here to stay. They grow so incredibly fast in that lake, that they will be of sporting size in just a couple years from now!
