You don't need big, expensive swimbaits to catch DD bass. WRB has probably caught the most on a jig and pig. My PB was caught on a golden shiner in Florida, but my other DDs have all been caught here in the Mid South on Senkos. I have had great luck with the Rage Tail Structure Bug locally with dozens of monsters the past several years, although none of them quite met the 10lb threshold. I came close at Toledo Bend fishing the Rage Hawg.

We positioned the boat in the weeds/grass that defined a drop into slightly deeper water. Cast giant golden shiners with a balloon out a few feet beyond the weed line and let the bait swim freely. I don't know exactly where we were because it all looked the same to me. You need a guide. If you want to fish artificials only, this is your man: https://www.aeguideservice.com/

Wow! If that's an invitation to go fishing with you, I think I'll pass.

I like jigs and will fish one sometimes when I KNOW a soft plastic would be a better choice.

Caught my PB at ToHo in January.

Landfill...

Hmm... I don't agree with you at all. Our brown fish here in Tennessee have put on the feed bag and are aggressively chasing everything that moves. With four generators in operation we are running 35,000 CFS through the gates. The current is strong and the fish seem happy!

Leon Tidwell was a friend of mine who I fished with often. He fished the Red Man trail and was a well known fisherman in Sheffield, Alabama. Although he caught plenty of largemouth, his passion was smallmouth bass.

Maybe, but they don't care.

That will work just fine.

That's progress!

I ALWAYS assume there are more bass on a given spot unless it's a monster!

All offense, no defense. The biggest surprise was Saban's decision to leave so much time in the game towards the end. To rely on your defense in a game like this was ridiculous. Bryce Young reminds me a lot of Patrick Mahomes. Dude will be playing on Sunday and I hope he plays in Denver!

I don't know...looks pretty weak for a Florida bass. I would not consider this a "decent" bass or picture worthy. You guys need an 8 lb bass just to be "average".

Yeah, I have been watching football for more than 60 years and have never seen an uglier kick, but it was BEAUTIFUL!

Yes and they are "both" varmits.
