Senko lover

That's kinda funny. Maybe she was trying to bond with him or something .

I don't know, but that would a heck of a Classic. Bring it on, by all means!

That is my backup retrieve, in particular when I want to slow down near some cover. I also like drooping my line over a branch and yo-yoing the bait in place, that's produced some nice bass for me.

KVD 1.5 all day!

Please don't tell me you're throwing all yours away.....stickbaits are not to be wasted.

About three weeks ago the main spawn happened in my ponds. I started working a summer job that week and didn't have the time to fish. My buddy at the pond told me he caught 14 bass over three pounds . I was really really disappointed at missing the bed fish. I had been looking forward to it for about a year and I was ticked off when I learned I had missed it. Well, today I went to the pond and found the bluegill spawning like crazy, sometimes even jumping out of the water in their excitement. Saw some bass circling around but only caught a little dink on a senko. Then, I found a bed with a late couple on it. Only saw the male at first, was about 2 pounds. Started fishing for him. I really sucked at sight fishing and it took me about 30 minutes to figure out how to get the bass to get really ticked at my bait. Was fishing a small Kalin's grub and got it to bite 3-4 times, but he wasn't committing. Then I finally realized that I had picked up my first bag of Rage Craws at Bass Pro yesterday and I put one on and and finally caught him. Well after I released it I saw the big female cruise in. Hard to judge but I'd put her at somewhere between 4/12 and 5 1/2. Really nice bass. Well I started fishing for her with the Rage Craw. She got upset and left the bed, and I pitched out past it. Felt a weight and punched the hook home. She was on! I fought her next to the bank and was trying to figure out how to land her when the bait popped out of her mouth and one super upset female left the area. She would have been my second biggest fish. Anyway, I had a blast bed fishing for the first time and I'm thrilled to death about the Rage Craws. Don't have a lot of money for Rage baits but out of the two of their products I've used I can truly say I love them. Can't wait to land some more fish on the Rage Craw.

Love me a good tuck!!

I can't barely see your face to judge, I mean you've got two hats, sunglasses, and a scarf on. Can't tell whether you're 28 or 48.

Well to each his own. Do you catch fish on weightless plastics in general?

Nice job man!

Dude. Fish them wacky rigged or texas rigged. On a jighead or regular weight. Just fish them. I like them weightless wacky the best, I retrieve like a fluke with my rod tip down and short jerks.

I just picked up my first bag of Rage Craws and got Blue Craw and it looks killer!! Can't wait to catch something on them!.

I started a summer job two weeks ago, was busy all week, came to the ponds and found a bunch of post-spawn fish. My buddy at a pond I fish told me he caught 14 bass there over 3 pounds bed fishing. I totally missed something I was looking to since last year. . So unfortunately, I can't help you.

Fishing in extreme thunder and lightening wasn't a very good choice.

Congrats!

The only time I use something similar to a C-rig is with a split shot. And I haven't had too much luck with lizards. Caught one dink on them and I threw them a lot during the prespawn time.

So yesterday I was fishing and caught 3 smaller bass on a senko in light drizzle. The rain picked up and started coming down really hard. So I tied on a buzzbait, my favorite rain lure. Threw it out there, turned the handle a couple of times, and WHAM! The bait was stopped cold and my rod was doubled over. The fish was peeling drag like crazy and I realized I had my drag all the way down. So I tightened it up and I think I tightened it a little too far. The fish jumped, and I could tell it was the big 7 3/4 lber that I caught about a month ago. She headed back down and suddenly I had my bait back. . The good news is, she's still in there and I know I'll get her again. That would have been awesome to land an 8 pound bass on a buzzbait........ And yes, I had a phone with me .

There's been a long thread about this full of awesome pics. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/145541-catching-the-wrong-species/

-Tubes -Lizards -Flukes/paddle tails -Dropshot -Craws Good luck!

+3 for the Speed Spool. Beast of a reel for the price. Get the Tournament MG.

Senkos are the best bait in the world. I fish them far more than anything else.

Senkos and spinnerbaits are my favorite starting baits. If there's not a ton of vegetation/wood I'll switch to a lipless from the 'bait.

Both, probably.

Bobby Lane and Bernie Schultz are in the top 11. The rest of mine aren't doing that hot. Glad to see KVD return to his usual spot in the top 10!

CONGRATS to Chris Zaldain on a 30-pound bag and a 12 pound gggiant bass!
